Carl Jan Olof "Olle" Nordin (born 23 November 1949) is a Swedish former football coach and former player. He represented IFK Norrköping, IFK Sundsvall, and IFK Göteborg during a playing career that spanned between 1970 and 1980. A full international between 1976 and 1979, he won 19 caps for the Sweden national team and represented his country at the 1978 FIFA World Cup. As a coach, he is best remembered for leading the Sweden national team at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, as well as for his stints with IFK Norrköping and AIK.

Playing career[edit]

At the club level, Nordin represented IFK Norrköping, IFK Sundsvall, and IFK Göteborg.[1] He was capped 19 times for the Sweden national team and played at the 1978 FIFA World Cup.[2]

Coaching career[edit]

As national team coach, Nordin led Sweden to the 1990 FIFA World Cup — its first World Cup since Nordin participated as a player. The tournament was a failure, however, as Sweden lost all three matches with 1–2. Nordin was fired shortly thereafter. He managed Norwegian clubs (Vålerenga, Lyn) as well as Swedish Västra Frölunda IF,[3] IFK Norrköping and AIK.

The latest club he managed was IFK Malmö in 2016.[4]
