Mjallby have won their first Swedish title after a remarkable season. With a 2-0 win over Goteborg on Monday night, the club wrote an unthinkable underdog story. Mjallby come from a small southern fishing village Hallevik, which has a population of just 1,500. The club have also secured a berth in the Champions League for the first time in their history. Mjallby's achievement is drawing comparisons to Leicester City's incredible win in the Premier League 2015-16. Anders Torstensson, Mjallby's head coach, has played a key role in the club's historic success. Noel Tornqvist, Mjallby's goalkeeper, has had an exceptional campaign and has even attracted interest from Como boss Cesc Fabregas. Mjallby have sold several of their youth players and reinvested the money judiciously for fresh signings, strictly based on data-based recruitment. This has resulted in the club signing Gambian attacker Abdoulie Manneh. Mjallby's success is a silver lining amid Sweden's national team crisis. Sweden are on the verge of failing to qualify for the World Cup after taking just one point from their first four matches. Mjallby's historic title win will inspire clubs across the globe. Kim Hellberg, head coach of Hammarby, has praised Mjallby and said that they are a really good side who have exceeded all expectations.
