OFFICIAL: Thelin and Fendrich have joined the Jönköping Södra sports group

Thielen and Fendrich joined the sports group responsible for the men's business.

-This will be very fun. The duo tells the site that the idea of ​​creating a regional team that includes a core of players from their ranks and neighboring clubs is exciting and correct.

Fendrich hopes to help J-Södra make the step towards Superettan again.

– I'm really looking forward to it. We were flattered when we were asked if we would like to work in sports, he said and continues:

I realize we have a difficult journey ahead of us.

– I realize that we have a difficult journey ahead of us in light of the difficult financial situation of the Union. I think it is right that the Board of Directors sees the return as covering all aspects – financial, organizational and sporting.

Thelin likes that J-Södra is now focusing on talent development and selecting promising players in the local area.

It is also important that no one expects us to bounce back immediately.

-I think it is wise to build from the ground up and create something that is sustainable over time. It is also important that no one expects us to bounce back immediately. We have to be patient and if you look at the first team, it is plausible that we will be back as an elite team in three or four years. He says the road there has all the conditions to be exciting and good.
