Jimmy Tamandi (born 12 May 1980 in Malmö, Sweden) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played for Malmö FF, AIK, Potenza, Lyn and GAIS. He started his career at Nydala IF before moving to Malmö FF in 1992. He made his professional debut in 1999 when Malmö were relegated. He stayed with the team through promotion in 2000 and then also in the 2001 comeback campaign. In 2002, he switched to AIK where he has had mixed successes. In 2004, he was part of the team that were relegated. Tamandi had at this point already signed for Italian side Salernitana to where he moved in January 2005.
However, Salernitana had changed their management with the management that had signed Tamandi now gone. He was therefore forced out of the club and made play for Serie C side Potenza. In the summer of 2005 Tamandi returned to AIK and was a major part in the club's successful campaign for promotion back to the Allsvenskan. In 2007 he went for free to the Norwegian club Lyn.[1] There he spent two years before the club went bankrupt. He then signed for Gais and played there for three seasons and finished his professional football career.[2]
