Career

Nine years for Djurgårdens IF with title wins

Karlsson comes from the youth of Rimbo IF , where he made his adult debut in 1992. In 1993 he joined the third division club BKV Norrtälje , where he ran for two and a half seasons. He missed promotion to the second division in 1994 as third in the table with the club, the following year he was one of the top performers at the club, which was in danger of relegation.

In 1996 Karlsson moved to Djurgårdens IF in the Allsvenskan , where he experienced ups and downs in the following years: in the 1990s, the club was an elevator team between the elite and second division . Right at the end of his first season for the Stockholm club, he rose with the team around Stefan Alvén , Nebojša Novaković , Magnus Pehrsson and Kaj Eskelinen from the Allsvenskan, in the following season the club failed as second in the season only in the relegation to Östers IF . After the end of the season, the defender underwent a groin operation after the injury had accompanied him during the season, but he had postponed the operation.

At the end of 1998, the club returned to the top division, Karlsson had contributed two goals in 17 league games to the relay win. After the end of the season there were brief rumors of change, which he denied and referred to his valid contract with one year remaining. In the 1999 season , the team had no chance, as bottom of the table they were despite a coach change - the coaching duo Zoran Lukić and Sören Åkeby took over the management of the team in the summer - already early as a direct relegated. In the second division, the two successfully built up the team, as champions of the newly created single-track Superettan , the team, studded with young talents such as Abgar Barsom , Mikael Dorsin and Jones Kusi-Asare , managed to get back on track with 20 wins this season in 30 league games. With targeted reinforcements such as Andreas Isaksson and Louay Chanko , she started the first division season 2001 , where Karlsson contributed as a regular player with 23 league appearances to the runner-up. The upward trend continued, with 23 league games each time he was involved in winning the championship title in the following two years. In October 2004 the team also won the national cup through a final win against IFK Göteborg , but Karlsson was not part of the final squad .

Change abroad and return

Karlsson had previously expressed his wish to leave, despite a contract that ran until the end of 2005, and in January 2005 he finally left Sweden and joined the German second division Rot-Weiss Essen with a one-and-a-half-year contract. With the club he played against relegation to the regional league , which could not be prevented. He then turned his back on the club and German professional football after only half a year.

However, Karlsson stayed abroad and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Stabæk Fotball in Adeccoligaen, Norway , at the end of May 2005 . In seven games of the season he contributed in the second half of the year to the side of Bjørnar Holmvik , Veigar Páll Gunnarsson , Henning Hauger and his compatriot Daniel Nannskog for promotion to the top-class Tippeligaen . In 19 games of the season he contributed to reaching fifth place in the table in the 2006 season .

In the summer of 2007 Karlsson returned to Sweden and joined the first division promoted IF Brommapojkarna . Back in Sweden he was a regular player, but with his new club he missed relegation. Under coach Kim Bergstrand , who had inherited Claes Eriksson after relegation, he was one of the regular players after relegation and led the club to direct promotion. In the 2009 season he was in the starting line-up in all of his 16 season appearances , at the end of the year the club celebrated relegation as twelfth in the table. A short time later, Karlsson announced that he could no longer motivate himself and was therefore ending his career.

After the end of the active career

Initially, Karlsson IF Brommapojkarna remained as assistant coach to Bergstrand and his successor Roberth Björknesjö , but in December 2011 he left the post and worked as a talent scout and player advisor.
