Helsingborg terminates contract with coach Klebér Saarenpää. The decision was announced on HIF's website.

What happened?

Klebér Saarenpää took over Helsingborg before the 2024 season and extended his contract by two more years in the spring. But now it's being terminated prematurely.

Why is it important?

– Helsingborgs IF is on a long-term journey. Within that framework, we are grateful to Klebér and how he has taken on this task, which we were aware required major restructuring work, says club director Reda Chahrour. Helsingborg is currently 6th in Superettan, with 3 points and one win and one loss in two matches. | Stat | Value | | League position | 6th | | Points | 3 | | Last match | Orebro SK 1-2 Helsingborg (2026-05-26) |

What's next?

Helsingborg's next match is against IFK Norrkoping on August 1, 2026. – We are grateful for his willingness to, through good dialogue and mutual understanding, terminate the contract prematurely in a way that is beneficial to Helsingborgs IF in both the short and long term, says Chahrour.
