The ex-Sweden international on his return, is expected to facilitate the acquisition of sports equipment from kit manufacturing giants like Adidas, Nike etc for the academy.

An instructor at the Academy, who pleaded anonymity, said in an interview “This is a welcoming news, and it will help this academy a great deal in terms of logistics. His suggestions during the facility visit, no doubt, will play a role as we put finishing touches to the structure.”
