Bosse Andersson has achieved legendary status among the Djurgården supporters, widely accepted as the most successful director of sports in Sweden. After returning to Djurgården in 2013, working in tandem with CEO Henrik Berggren, he guided the club from near bankruptcy to become Sweden´s third richest club, behind only Malmö FF and IFK Norrköping (2021). Using his wide network of contacts, Bosse has brought several young African players to Europe and Djurgården, and the club has made a fortune after selling these talents to bigger clubs. These include Omar Colley (originally came to Finland), Tino Kadewere, Sam Johnson (originally came to IK Frej), Michael Olunga and Aliou Badji. Selling players to Chinese clubs has been the biggest factor to Bosses success at Djurgården. The club has earned two titles since Bosse´s return.
