Swedish soccer legend Henrik Larsson has turned to management in his retirement, and it’s gone horribly wrong. He’s in charge of Helsingborgs IF -- a team that he scored 105 goals for during two stints with the club -- and his son, 19-year-old Jordan, plays for the team. They were relegated from Sweden’s top flight on Sunday, losing in heartbreaking fashion to Halmstads BK by conceding goals in the 87th and 90th minutes. This is how their fans reacted.
Henrik Larsson’s son has jersey ripped off by fans after their club got relegated
Fans of Swedish club Helsingborgs were furious after their relegation and came onto the pitch to confront players.
Jordan Larsson is the player who has his shirt ripped off by the angry supporters. He makes for a strange target of anger, as he scored a goal in this game.
As a player, Henrik Larsson guided Helsingborgs back to the top flight of Swedish soccer after more than 20 years in lower leagues. They kept their spot in the Allsvenskan continuously until this season, even winning the title as recently as 2011. The club has been struggling financially, but this is the first time they’ve finished in the bottom half since the league expanded to 16 teams for the 2008 season.
