List of Malmö FF managers

[1] The club's first team play in Allsvenskan as of 2018, the top league in Swedish football, which takes place from April to October every seasons.

[2] Houghton is the club's longest-serving manager, having occupied the position between 1990 and 1992 in addition to the aforementioned period, giving him a total of 10 years in charge.

Wijk remained in charge until 1934, when the club was disqualified after 13 matches for breaching Swedish football's ban on professional players.

During this time he became the club's first Allsvenskan title winning manager, when the team won the league championship at the end of the 1943–44 season.

Malmö FF chairman Eric Persson was reportedly initially hesitant to employ Houghton, who at 27 was younger than several of the club's players, but was convinced when the Englishman met them and won their respect and confidence.

Hodgson's tenure as Malmö FF manager is the most successful in terms of win percentage and Allsvenskan titles won.

[9] Hodgson's departure from the club in 1989 marked the start of a 15-year period during which Malmö FF failed to win a league or cup title.

Houghton initially returned in Hodgson's place, but the former manager's two-year sojourn back at the club proved largely unsuccessful.

Dutchman Frans Thijssen took Zetterlund's place in January 1997, and stayed at the club until August 1998 when he was sacked following poor results in Allsvenskan and European competition.

Having won consecutive league titles with Djurgårdens IF in 2002 and 2003, Åkeby was widely respected on his appointment,[13] but he proved unable to continue where Prahl left off.

[16] After being one goal away from qualifying for the group stage of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League he guided the club to a fourth position in 2011.

[18] Hareide was the first non-Swedish manager for the club since Dutchman Frans Thijssen who left Malmö FF in 1998.

Hareide had immediate success at the club as he led the team to defend their Allsvenskan title and qualify for the group stage of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League in his first season.

[19][20] After a second spell in Champions League in 2015, Hareide left the club to coach Denmark national football team and he was replaced by Allan Kuhn[21] Information correct as of matches played up until 8 December 2021
