Umeå FC Parts Ways with Coach Anders Bååth Amid Poor Season Performance

Umeå FC has officially dismissed head coach Anders Bååth following a lackluster start to the 2025 Superettan season. The decision comes as Umeå FC finds itself at the bottom of the league, remaining winless after 17 matches and collecting only 5 points—9 points adrift from the qualification spot. Sport director Adam Chennoufi characterized the decision as difficult yet necessary for the team’s future success.

Anders Bååth had taken over Umeå FC ahead of the 2024 season and successfully led the club to promotion to Superettan during his first year. However, this season has proven challenging, resulting in his exit just weeks into the new campaign. In his stead, assistant coach Jens Sjöström is stepping up as interim head coach. The team is preparing for a crucial upcoming match against Trelleborg, which currently occupies the last qualification position. Umeå FC will be looking to turn its fortunes around quickly under its new interim leadership.
