Life

Svensson began his career with the lower class playing IFK Värnamo . In 1998 he made his debut for Halmstads BK in the Allsvenskan . With the club he won the Swedish championship in 2000. In the 2001/02 season he played for ES Troyes AC in the French Ligue 1 . In the summer of 2002 he moved to Southampton FC , which he remained loyal to despite relegation from the FA Premier League in 2005. Because of a knee injury, he was hardly used in his last two seasons with Southampton; from 2007 Svensson was briefly without a contract.

On August 17, 1999, Svensson made his national team debut against Austria . At the 2002 World Cup he was in the squad, but was not used.

On December 17, 2009 it was announced that Michael Svensson was the new assistant coach of his former club Halmstad BK at the side of Lars "Lasse" Jacobsson . He finally held this office from 2010 to 2011. Surprisingly, he has also been a sporadic player in the professional squad of Halmstad BK since 2011.
