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.

Playing career

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

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]
