22 Jul 2015 | Marcus Vilson

Fredrik Stillman and Fredrik Olausson have choosed to leave HV71 and there's no interest for other assigments in the organisation. -"It's sad that they choose to leave," Agne Bengtsson, club director HV71 said.

There hasn't been an easy summer for HV71. First Headcoach Andreas Johansson left the club during suspicious circumstances and now both assisting coaches Fredrik Stillman and Fredrik Olausson have decided to leave the club. Therefore, HV71 stands without any leading staff at the moment.

HV71 club director, Agne Bengtsson is positive though and says: -"We have said that we should announce a new coaching staff before Monday, but it isn't impossible that we announce it later today."

-"Off course it's extremely sad that they choose to leave and we can only deplore it. Fredrik and Fredrik are two great profiles in HV71, who's meant a big deal for the organisation. We have loved to see them stay, but now it is what it is and we have felt this during a long time," Agne Bengtsson said to hv71.se

Joakim Persson, Agent for Stillman/Olausson says that his clients didn't share HV71's norm and that they couldn't stay because of the direction the club is heading into.

HV71 is entering the ice on August 3rd and the new coah won't have much time to get the team ready.
