He was head coach for Sweden women's national team until 2018. He was fired after a series of poor performances, including finishing sixth at the 2017 Women's Ice Hockey World Championships and seventh at the 2018 Winter Olympics, and mass discontent with his leadership among players, including over decisions to throw veteran Emma Eliasson off the team, allegations of bullying Jenni Asserholt into retirement, and a player petition to have him resign.
