Topic: Roland Nilsson


  
  Roland Nilsson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roland Nilsson, (born November 27, 1963), is a Swedish football manager, he currently manages GAIS in the Allsvenskan (the top tier of Swedish football).
During the time he spent at Wednesday, Nilsson became a real favourite amongst the club's fans as his performances proved to be a catalyst for a footballing renaissance at Hillsborough.
In the years that Nilsson played for the club, Wednesday won the League Cup in 1991, finished runner-up in the FA Cup and the League Cup in 1993, and played in Europe for the first time in thirty years.

ROLAND [Roland], the great French hero of the medieval Charlemagne cycle of chansons de geste, immortalized in the Chanson de Roland (11th or 12th cent.).
Existence of an early Roland poem is indicated by the historian Wace's statement that Taillefer sang of Roland's deeds to inflame the men before the Battle of Hastings (1066).
Historically Roland was Charlemagne's commander on the Breton border; he was killed in a pass in the Pyrenees when Basques cut off the rear guard of the Frankish army returning from its invasion of Spain in 778.

Roland was too much Mr nice guy and the players played their hearts for out him during his probation period because they were quite happy to have him as boss.Once appointed they settled down to play as they wanted and not for the manager.
Roland was up against it from the start.andnbsp; He has had virtually no money to improve the squad and has had to rely on the reserves and loan players while others eg Carsley were sold.
I feel a little sorry for Nilsson as he seems to be a good bloke andamp; served us well as a player but he did not come across as dynamic enough to make the changes at City which are so obviously necessary and something drastic had to be done.

 The Scotsman - Sport - Nilsson and Smith are sent from Coventry
Nilsson, 38, had been in charge at Coventry, who were relegated from the Premiership last season, since last September when he replaced Gordon Strachan, but now becomes the 42nd managerial casualty south of the border this season.
Nilsson guided the club to five wins and a draw in the league during his spell as caretaker after the departure of Strachan, before his unbeaten run extended for a further five Division 1 games, finally ending with a 3-2 defeat at Millwall in November.
Nilsson, who won 112 caps for his country as a defender, made his last appearance as a player in Coventry’s 4-0 defeat to Preston North End on 6 April and immediately vowed to hang up his boots.

 A List Of The True Greats To Wear The Owls Crest || Unofficial Sheff Wed - Unofficial Sheffield Wednesday News and Views   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Roland was part of the legendary Owls team that managed to get to two cup finals in the same season (and unfortunately lose out on both occasion!) and also the team that went on a 'European Tour'.
Such was Roland's determination, that he flew back from a World Cup qualifyer with Sweden to play for Wednesday in the FA Cup final replay with Arsenal.
Roland returned to his homtown team at the end of the 1993-1994 season, and it's unlikely that Wednesday fans will ever see a player like him don the blue and white stripes again.

Undoubtedly one of the most consistent and reliable right-backs of his era, the Euro 2000 finals are likely to be Nilsson's swansong on the international stage after making well over 100 appearances for his country.
Probably the Owls' most successful foreign acquisition ever, Nilsson was an influential figure in Wednesday's successful side of the early 1990s before he moved to his beloved hometown club Helsingborgs in 1994.
A surprise two-year stint back in England with Coventry City showed that, despite being in his 30s, he had lost none of his ability, and on his return to Helsingborgs last season he led them to their first league championship in 58 years.

 Nilsson wary of City
ROLAND Nilsson believes that Coventry can afford no margin for error if they are to garner any points from Sunday's clash at Maine Road.
And that is primarily the reason they occupy a place on the periphery of the play-off zone rather than being in the hunt for an automatic promotion spot.
Nilsson is under no illusions about the size of the task his side face as they aim to become the only team since Wimbledon in September to take maximum points from a ground where City have won 16 times in all competitions this season.

At the same time, I think that Roland Nilsson has done a reasonable job, particularly for someone who suddenly found himself in a role he hadn't anticipated.
I blame Smith more than Nilsson for the slump - I am sure that the bizarre formations are down to him, he brought in two inadequate ex-Derby players, and there appeared to be very little wrong with the Nilsson/Money/Clarke combination.
Dave: Indeed - and you could now say, he appointed Roland Nilsson (at a time when he was desperate to take the heat off himself), he appointed Jim Smith (to the fury of the rest of the board) and they have now all gone.

If Mikael Nilsson fails to impress I think it would be a better idea to play with 42 year old legend Roland Nilsson who made some games for GAIS last year.
So, his comeback was delayed for a week and today he was only subbed for the last 3 minutes, but he is not a natural defender anyway.
