Boro pay £250,000 to bring him from Hammarby
Swansea appoint Matos after missing out on Hellberg
Kim Hellberg has completed his managerial move to Middlesbrough from Hammarby. The 37-year-old Swede, who appeared poised to take charge at Swansea until Boro’s hijacking of that mooted deal, will aim to reinforce a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest emerging coaches.
After securing two consecutive second-place finishes in Sweden’s top tier at Hammarby, Hellberg has become something of a hot property and is tasked with leading second-placed Boro back into the Premier League.
They have paid about £250,000 to extract Hellberg from his contract and hope he can continue the job started by Rob Edwards. He had impressed immensely after his summer arrival, but the former Luton manager’s left for Wolves this month.
