Motherwell's Alfred Johansson Keeps Faith in Club's Style

Motherwell boss Alfred Johansson talks about the team's strong start and his adherence to their progressive playing style.

Motherwell's Strong Start Continues Under Johansson

Motherwell have had a strong start to life under the former Rosenborg manager, with a 4th place finish in last season's Premiership and a run to the Conference League qualifiers. The team's possession-based style, which was continued by Johansson from predecessor Jens Berthel Askou, has been key to their success.

Johansson's Commitment to His Philosophy

Alfred Johansson has stated that he will not abandon his beliefs, even when things are not going well. He believes in his capabilities and the team's style, and is committed to finding the answers to any questions he may have. Johansson's philosophy is centered around possession football, which he believes is the best way to play the game.

Why Motherwell Hired Johansson

Motherwell's CEO Brian Caldwell and head of football Nick Daws sold Johansson on the club's commitment to their progressive style, which has boosted attendances. Johansson was initially hesitant due to Scotland's traditional style based in physicality, but was convinced by the club's vision.

Recent Form

Motherwell are currently 2nd in the recent form table, with a 2-game winning run. They have scored 52 goals this season and conceded 29, with a +23 goal difference. The team is 16 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian in the title race.
