Career

Sandberg started his career at Örebro SK . As a supplementary player, he made his first appearances in the Allsvenskan during the 1976 season . Two years later he had established himself as a core force in the attack of the club, but rose with the team in the second division. With 18 goals this season he was crowned the top scorer of the northern season, but the team overseen by Tord Grip missed direct promotion as second behind IK Brage . Although with nine goals in the second division season 1981 no longer dangerous, it was enough for the club again only to runner-up behind AIK . Nevertheless, he had attracted higher class attention and moved to IFK Göteborg in the Allsvenskan. Here, too, he showed his goal danger and was at the end of the season 1981 with 13 goals this season, the second best club-internal goalscorer behind league top scorer Torbjörn Nilsson .

1982 was a successful year under coach Sven-Göran Eriksson . The club stormed to the top of the league and reached the UEFA Cup finals in 1981/82 in the summer . Although now partially only a substitute player, he was used as a substitute in the finals against Hamburger SV and was thus involved in winning the title. Under Gunder Bengtsson , the successor of Eriksson who moved to Portugal, the club also won the national cup and the championship. His good performances over the course of the season led to his appointment to the national team in autumn of that year, in which he made his debut in November against Cyprus in a qualifying match for the 1984 European Championship . In 1983 he was again with the club cup winners before he accepted an offer from Greece the following summer.

Sandberg joined AEK Athens . Together with Thomas Mavros , he formed the club's storm duo. While he was crowned the league's top scorer with 27 goals this season, he contributed in his first season in Southeast Europe with 15 goals this season to make it into the UEFA Cup as third in the table. In the following season he was the club's best internal goalscorer with twelve goals this season. With the club, with which he made it to the semi-finals of the national cup, he finished third again. The 1986/87 season was mixed for both the player and the club. With only three goals this season, he slipped with the club to seventh place in the table. At the end of the season he moved within the league to Olympiacos . Among other things, due to injury, he played only two games for the club in the first half of the season. Therefore he returned to Sweden at the turn of the year and joined GIF Sundsvall in Allsvenskan. At the side of Tomas Brolin , Patrick Walker , Peter Andersson and Michael Brundin , he missed participation in the championship finals with the club at the end of the 1988 season as fifth only because of the worse goal difference against Örgryte IS . At the end of the following season he rose with the club from the first division, then he left the club.

Sandberg took over the coaching position at the Swedish second division IF Elfsborg in 1993 , which he looked after for two seasons. In 1997 he was hired by the Norwegian club Tromsø IL . With the club in relegation battle, he held the class in the 1997 and 1998 seasons. After temporarily working as a player's agent, he took over training at third division Norrby IF in 2006 . However, after the team slipped into the relegation battle in Division 1 in 2008 , he was released there. At the end of the year he returned to IF Elfsborg as a youth coach.
