AIK's former coach Mikkjal Thomassen had a tough leadership style that didn't work for the whole team. Guidetti, who played for AIK during Thomassen's time, says that the coach had problems with him.
What happened?
Thomassen took over AIK in the summer of 2024 and started the 2025 season strongly. AIK was unbeaten after eleven matches but performed much weaker after the summer break.
Why did it affect AIK?
Guidetti links the declining form to being benched himself. He says that he got the group together during the first half of the season but that Thomassen lost the whole group after the summer break.
| Season | Matches | Wins | Losses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 30 | 13 | 8 |
AIK finished seventh in Allsvenskan with 48 points, 13 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses. The team has scored 40 goals and conceded 33 goals, resulting in a goal difference of +7.
What's next?
AIK is 27 points behind league leaders Mjallby AIF. Guidetti says that Thomassen's departure was a result of the team's poor form. Thomassen was fired from AIK in January 2026. Now that AIK is in the middle of the season, with a recent form of LWDLL, it's essential for the team to find its way back to its previous form to be able to reach a higher position in the table.
