Trainer
The Swedish youth selections sometimes do not have a differentiation of the trainers according to age groups, rather a year group is supervised by a trainer or trainer duo when passing through the different age groups. Since the U-19 age group was introduced in 2002, Peter Gerhardsson , Hans Lindbom , Claes Eriksson and Roland Larsson have been responsible for the Swedish national team. When they first participated in the European Championship in 2017, the team was looked after by Eriksson.
