Salo: Because I want to stay in Leksand – Aftonbladet

Leksand. He resigned after a dispute with CEO Kjell Kruse.

But today turned sharply Tommy Salo, 43, and stops as Sports Director in Leksand.

– I hope Kjell has learned something from this, says Salo.

Just after 11 o’clock in the day came Tommy Salo, CEO Kjell Kruse and Leksand Chairman Anders Holst from Tegera Arena. A two-hour meeting was over and the result was that Tommy Salo remains as sporting director.

– It has been a tough day. But Anders Holst did well pulled myself together and Kjell. They really showed that they wanted me to stay and that is perhaps what makes me stay, says Salo.

“I had a plan …”

He continues:

– Since I too have and Kjell solved the problems between us. We would make some changes. I had a plan for how we would work with the coaches and the players and it became pancake of the day yesterday instead.

Did you get a negative answer by Kjell on the plan?

– A little. The combination, he had been in place had not these problems existed. Now it was like this in place and it is boring. It has become a shambles of that he has not been in place.

According to Salo based everything in that he is not known to have full control over how the sports league should be managed.

– I ‘s Sports manager and I would be too, and then I want

to take my decision as well.

What was it that caused you to rethink your decision?

– That we had a good discussion today and said what we felt and what was wrong. Then we could quite quickly solve the problem. I want to be responsible for the sporting, both when things go bad and when things go well. Otherwise it makes no sense that I’m here. I must continue as I have done, or I’m no good sports manager.

“learned something”

Do you feel that you have one hundred percent control of the sport?

– Yes, I think so. They show very openly that they want me to go, so there is no question about it.

Is there something you steaming?

– Some things do I, but it has become that it has become and I can not look back. Hopefully, I’ve learned something and I hope that Kjell has learned something, says Salo, who has been sports director in Leksand in four seasons.

The next match for Leksand: home against Lulea on Thursday.
