Bo Magnus Andersson (born 26 August 1968[1]), known as "Bosse" Andersson, or simply "Super-Bosse" is a Swedish businessman and former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is director of sports at Djurgårdens IF.
Playing career
[edit]Bo Andersson played for BK Vargarna, Väsby IK, AIK, Vasalunds IF, Djurgårdens IF, and SC Braga. In the 1994 and 1995 Djurgårdens IF seasons, he was the internal top scorer.
Post-playing career
[edit]Between 1997 and 2008, Andersson was club director at Djurgårdens IF.[2] Since 2013, he is back as director of sports at Djurgårdens IF.
Bosse Andersson has achieved legendary status among the Djurgården supporters. After returning to Djurgården in 2013, working in tandem with CEO Henrik Berggren, he guided the club from near bankruptcy to become Sweden´s third richest club, behind only Malmö FF and IFK Norrköping (2021). Using his wide network of contacts, Bosse has brought several young African players to Europe and Djurgården, and the club has made a fortune after selling these talents to bigger clubs. These include Omar Colley (originally came to Finland), Tino Kadewere, Sam Johnson (originally came to IK Frej), Michael Olunga and Aliou Badji. Selling players to Chinese clubs has been the biggest factor to Bosses success at Djurgården. The club has earned two titles since Bosse´s return.
