After the club narrowly escaped relegation in the preseason, he led the team to seventh place in the table in the 2008 season . The situation for the club was positive until the summer of the following year, so the coach's contract was extended to 2011. In the 2010 season, the team sat under his leadership in the upper third of the table and reached the European Cup as third. Although the club was unable to continue its good performance in the league under his leadership and was eliminated against FK Sarajevo in the second qualifying round of the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League , the club extended its contract again in July 2011 and tied the coach up At the end of 2013. If the club was twelfth in the table in the preseason and placed above the relegation ranks, the team started the 2012 season unsuccessfully . After they had remained without a win of the season in twelve games until the summer break, the club released him from his duties in early June and replaced him with Per-Ola Ljung .
