Ola Lindgren (born February 29, 1964 in Halmstad , Sweden ) is a former Swedish handball player . From 2008 to 2016 he was one of two coaches for the Swedish national handball team and from July 2009 to September 2010 he was also the coach of the Bundesliga team of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen .
Player career
Lindgren began his handball career in Sweden in 1981 at HK Drott . In 1990 he was signed by HSG Wetzlar , which at that time was playing for promotion in the 2nd handball league under the name "TSV Dutenhofen". Further stations in Germany were HSV Düsseldorf and HSG Nordhorn .
Since he first played for the Swedish national team in 1986 , he has played 375 international matches, scoring 477 goals. Lindgren originally played in the left backcourt , but later he was often only used in defense. If the Swede did act in the attack, then it was on the circle . The 1.92 m tall and 93 kg heavy Lindgren is one of the most successful handball players in the world.
Coaching career
In addition to coaching in Nordhorn , Lindgren was also assistant coach for the Swedish national handball team from 2007 onwards. From 2008 he and Staffan Olsson trained in addition to their respective posts as club coaches together for the Swedish selection. Shortly after the 2016 Olympic Games , he quit his job as the Swedish national coach.
For the 2009/10 season, Lindgren moved to the Rhein-Neckar Löwen . He kept up his commitment as national coach. In September 2010, Lindgren was given leave of absence from the Lions. His contract continued, however, so that a coaching position at another club was not possible until June 2012. It was not until December 2011 that the Rhein-Neckar Löwen and Lindgren agreed to terminate the contract.
After the release, Lindgren took over the coaching position at the Swedish first division club IFK Kristianstad in January 2012 . In January 2019 he was released from his duties. On June 25, 2019, Lindgren was introduced as the new coach of the Finnish national team. At the same time, he coached the Egyptian club al Ahly SC in the 2019/20 season .
