Barnsley had reached the Championship play-offs in 2020-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian-born Swede had earned a reputation for developing young talent, having won six of his 10 games in charge of the Sweden Under-21s, leaving them top of their European Championship qualifying group, and pushed Italy impressively in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He previously coached at Dalkurd FF and Gefle IF in the Swedish lower leagues, before ascending to the head-coaching role at Goteborg in the top tier.
