In the latest coaching staff change for Färjestad BK this season—following the mid-season dismissal of head coach Jörgen Jönsson and Olsson's promotion—Christer Olsson has left his assistant coach position after one season, citing family reasons. Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, who joined the senior team as an extra resource after his earlier promotion from the J20 squad, will replace him. Sports director Rickard Wallin confirmed the move.
Christer Olsson, who had been promoted to head coach in January before apparently returning to or retaining an assistant role, joined Färjestad as assistant coach ahead of the 2025-26 season but chose to depart after its conclusion. Wallin noted that Olsson approached him post-season requesting to pursue other opportunities due to family reasons. 'Christer came to me after the season and asked, due to family reasons, to seek other tasks,' Wallin said on the club's website. 'We had no intention of parting with Christer, but if it's better for him and his family, we respect that.' This continues a turbulent year for Färjestad's coaching staff.
