Issa Manglind

Issa Manglind (* 1971 ) is a former Swedish football player . After the end of his professional career, the striker worked temporarily as a football official and player agent.

Career

Manglind started playing soccer at Landskrona BoIS . In 1993 the striker moved to Trelleborgs FF in the Allsvenskan . There he knew how to convince right away and drew attention to himself in his first first division game in a 3-1 win over IFK Göteborg with a hat trick against national goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli and was considered in the Swedish U-21 national team as the season progressed. With 13 goals this season, he contributed to striker partner Mats Lilienberg , who was the league's top scorer with 18 goals, to fourth place in the table at the end of the 1993 season and thus to the qualification of the club for the UEFA Cup . In the following years he could not build on the success - partly due to an injury. Irregularly in use, he missed the accuracy from his debut season and slipped with the club into the lower part of the table.

1997 Manglind returned after 55 Allsvenskan games, in which he had managed 15 goals, to his hometown club Landskrona BoIS in the third class Division 2 Södra Götaland and rose with the club at the end of the season as a season winner in Division 1 Södra . Behind the seeded storm duo Greger Andrijevski and Mattias Eklund , he was only one of the supplementary players, as he was more likely to fail due to his susceptibility to injury. After several serious injuries, he ended his professional career in 1999.

While Manglind subsequently continued to play for lower-class amateur teams, he became a board member at Landskrona BoIS. With coach Jan Jönsson , who was newly signed up in 2001 , the club was promoted to Allsvenskan during his career. After working full-time at the construction company Percy Nilsson Bygg , he took over the position of sports director at the club in autumn 2003. In August of the following year, he resigned from the first division team to work for the newly founded International Sport Agency in Malmö. In December 2006, Manglind, who had also appeared on Swedish pay TV as a football expert, also quit here so that he could concentrate on his family. In 2009 he ended his active career as a football player with the sixth division Kågeröds Boif .
