Sixten Boström (born 15 September 1963) is a Finnish soccer coach and former midfielder, who is currently the assistant coach for Finnish club KuPS.[1]

Early life and career

Boström was born in Helsinki to a Swedish-speaking family. He played for local team HJK before moving to Häcken, Geylang International, Kuusysi and FinnPa during his playing days.[2] He earned 14 caps for Finland, scoring 2 goals.[3]

As a head coach, Boström was in charge of Ekenäs, Jaro and Örebro before joining HJK in 2013. A poor start to the following season led to his firing on 29 April 2014 despite winning the Veikkausliiga in his first season.[4]

Previously, he worked as an assistant coach under Gregg Berhalter for Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer after being hired in February 2015.[5] Together, they reached the MLS Cup in 2015.

He was announced at head coach of Finnish club SJK on 20 February 2017, and the club announced his departure on 2 June 2017.[6][7]
