Andreas Hägglund set to join Linköpings HC as general manager

Andreas Hägglund has agreed to become the new general manager at Linköpings HC, according to reports from Expressen. He will leave Mora IK after five seasons in a leadership role. The move comes as Linköping restructures its sports organization.

Expressen reports that Hägglund, currently Mora IK's sports director, reached an agreement with Linköpings HC over the weekend. A few weeks earlier, the newspaper identified him as the club's top choice for the general manager position. The recruitment process narrowed down candidates before finalizing the deal, with Hägglund signing a contract to take on the role with oversight of the entire sports operation, including a more operational focus than previously planned. Linköpings HC is undergoing a strategic shift to establish a clearer organizational structure. Hägglund's experience at Mora, where he managed both junior development and the senior team, built a wide scouting network, and excelled in recruiting international players, made him a strong fit. These skills were key factors in the club's decision. Broc Little has already been appointed as sports director for the A-team, complementing the new setup. Officials at Linköping are expected to formally announce the updated organization soon. Hägglund departs Mora after contributing to its junior and senior operations over five years.
