Tough start to management for Henrik Larsson

Henrik Larsson's Landskrona BOIS went down to a 1-0 defeat at home to  Atvidabergs FF yesterday and sit fourth from bottom of the Superettan (Second Division) after four games.
LBoIS opened their season with a 1-0 win away to Degerfors but have scored just three goals in four games which must prove tempting for the King of Kings to put the boots back on.
As a player Larsson made a few u-turns going on to win titles for Manchester United and Barcelona after leaving Celtic as well as scoring in the 2006 World Cup having previously announced his international retirement.
Former Manchester United winger Jesper Blomqvist has made a return to playing with Hammerby after a break of almost five years interrupted only by a 10 game run due to an injury crisis at Enkoping SK in 2008.
Larsson's last match was in October last year for Helsingborg in the Allsvenskan (First Division) before deciding on making the move into management. 
Despite their disappointing start to the season LBoIS are only four points behind leaders Assyriska FF with their next match being on Wednesday away to second placed Orgryte

There will always be rumours and wishful thinking about Larsson making a return to Celtic as manager but he clearly intends to learn about the job out of the spotlight although the temptation to get on the park to help out his new club must be huge.
Meanwhile over in Denmark Morten Weighorst's FC Norsjaelland drew 1-1 at home with Randers.
FCN are sitting in seventh place in the twelve club division a comfortable ten points clear of the strangely named Yeovil Town who are occupying one of the two relegation places.
