Hellberg would be open to Swans talks if Swedes agree

KIM Hellberg has suggested he would be open to taking the top job at Swansea City - but only if the Swans can strike an agreement with current club Hammarby.

Reports tipping Hellberg as a possible successor to Luke Williams emerged last week, with the Swans still weighing up their options before the end of the season.

Interim boss Alan Sheehan has stepped into the role in the wake of Williams’ departure, and is a contender to take the position himself after a strong run of recent form.

However, as things stand, there hasn't yet been a definitive decision over the club’s next move, although sources in Sweden have already played down the prospect of Hellberg leaving his current role.

The 37-year-old joined Hammarby back in 2024, and has overseen a strong start to the Allsvenskan season, with his side currently sitting second in the table, one point behind leaders AIK.

Hellberg’s contract runs until 2026, and he says he intends to honour that deal, adding that any departure would depend on a club coming to an agreement with this current employers.
