Sanna Guidetti Criticizes AIK Over Lukewarm Farewell for John Guidetti

Sanna Guidetti has publicly expressed sharp disappointment over the farewell ceremony for her husband John Guidetti following his final match with AIK, which ended in a 0-2 loss against Halmstad. On the podcast "Högt i tak," she criticized the club and its supporters for not giving John an opportunity to speak or thank fans during the send-off. John, who contributed 14 goals in 85 matches over 3.5 seasons at AIK and was part of Sweden's U21 European Championship team, felt "shat on" by AIK, according to Sanna (141181, 141529).

Sanna highlighted that unlike teammate Anton Salétros, John did not receive a proper acknowledgment or chance to address the crowd, describing the farewell as "under all criticism." She emphasized that AIK decided not to offer John a new contract, which she viewed as a betrayal and contributory to the perceived mistreatment. Although 33 years old, John’s career might continue abroad, with Saudi Arabia mentioned as a potential destination if the financial terms are right. Sanna also expressed concerns about safety if John were to join another Stockholm-based club like Hammarby, due to potential risks for their children (141181, 141529).

This controversy has brought attention to how the club handled the exit of a player who has been influential over several seasons, prompting debate among AIK supporters and Swedish football circles about loyalty and recognition for veteran players.
