AIK sack sporting director two days before premiere

AIK and Thomas Berntsen go their separate ways. The sporting director is allowed to leave his post two days before the all-Swedish premiere -- following unconfirmed reports of internal disagreements.

AIK and sports director Thomas Berntsen go separate ways with incomparable work. "Where we find ourselves now we will need to take a different structure and then there are other skills and workforce that are needed," says club director Fredrik Söderberg in a press release.

Here is the shock news for AIK. According to Sportbladet, sports director Thomas Berntsen may be forced to leave AIK. The reason is said to be disagreements with the board.

On Saturday morning, AIK announced that they would be firing sports director Thomas Berntsen immediately – with just days until the team's first Allsvenskan match.

Just before the start of the season, the Norwegian leaves the Swedish major club with immediate effect.
