Jan Olof "Janne" Andersson (born 29 September 1962) is a Swedish football coach who manages the Sweden national team. He is also a former player.<\/P>
During Andersson's early managerial years, he managed Alets IK and Laholms FK.<\/P>
While at Halmstads BK, Andersson's team knocked out Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Cup, who had made it all the way to the UEFA cup final the previous year.<\/P>
He took over Superettan team Orgryte IS in December 2009, who had just been relegated from Allsvenskan. During Andersson's stay at the club, Orgryte suffered from serious financial problems which eventually led their Superettan licence to be revoked. Andersson left the club after only one season.<\/P>
In 2011, Andersson was appointed as the manager for IFK NorrkOping who were making their comeback in Allsvenskan after two seasons in Superettan. In 2015, he led NorrkOping to win the league for the first time in 26 years after defeating defending champions MalmO FF away in the last game.<\/P>
Following Sweden's disappointing Euro 2016 display, Andersson took over as the head coach of the Sweden national team after almost seven years of Erik Hamrén being in charge.<\/P>

Sweden eliminated Switzerland in the second round before losing to England in the quarter final.<\/P>
During the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League campaign, Andersson and Sweden finished first in their UEFA Nations League B group ahead of Russia and Turkey, winning promotion to League A.<\/P>
