Patrik Ingelsten

Patrik Ingelsten (born 25 January 1982) is a Swedish football coach and former player, who played as a winger and forward.

Ingelsten started his career in Hillerstorps GoIF and played there until 1999 when he moved to IFK Värnamo, there he played for two seasons under former Swedish international star Jonas Thern and when Thern became new manager for Halmstads BK he brought Ingelsten with him, during his time in Halmstads BK he made several appearance but failed to gain the liking of the supporters, he won Stora Silvret (eng: The Big Silver) in 2004 when Halmstad missed the Allsvenskan title in the final game, he also scored the goal that would send the 2005 UEFA Cup Final runners-up Sporting Lisbon out of the 2005–06 UEFA Cup.

This also earned him a spot in the national team against Portugal after Markus Rosenberg got injured prior to the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification on Råsunda[2] but never came on as a substitute.

He had much success here and left the club at the end of the year, to join GAIS both as an assistant manager and sporting director.

In July 2019, he was appointed caretaker manager once again after the departure of Bosko Orović,[9] which in September 2019 was turned permanently.
