Modo Hockey is searching for a new head coach ahead of next season, with Mikael Karlberg as the club's primary target according to Expressen. Current coach Fredrik Andersson, who has a contract extending into next year, appears unlikely to remain in the role. Karlberg currently serves as an assistant with Färjestad.
Modo Hockey has begun its hunt for a new head coach for the upcoming season, as incumbent Fredrik Andersson is not expected to continue despite holding a contract through next year. Andersson, known as 'Freddan,' stepped in after Mattias Karlin was dismissed but the club plans to install a fresh leader, per reports from Expressen and Sportbladet. Expressen specifically identifies Mikael Karlberg, nicknamed 'Challe,' as Modo's main focus in the search. Sportbladet earlier noted interest from both Modo and Västerås in Karlberg for head coaching positions. Karlberg remains under contract with Färjestad, where he works as an assistant coach this season, but includes a clause permitting him to pursue a head coaching opportunity elsewhere. He spent a total of 27 seasons with Leksand in various roles before joining Färjestad. The developments signal a potential shift in Modo's coaching staff amid efforts to bolster the team for the future.
