Kim Alexander Hellberg (born 1 February 1988) is a Swedish football manager who is the head coach of Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan. He previously played football at lower level as a midfielder.
Coaching career
Early career
Born and raised in Norrköping, he started his coaching career with local club Kimstad GoIF in 2011, at age 23, winning Division 5 in his debut season. In 2013, Hellberg was appointed as the head coach of Kuddby IF. In just three seasons, he led Kuddby from Division 5 to Division 3.
In 2017, Hellberg joined IF Sylvia in Division 2, Sweden's fourth tier. In 2018, his second season in charge of the club, he led the side to a promotion to Ettan.
On 4 January 2020, Hellberg joined Allsvenskan club IFK Norrköping as an assistant coach to Jens Gustafsson. He also joined his father Stefan Hellberg in the coaching staff. On 10 April 2021, Hellberg signed a new two-year contract with the club, continuing as an assistant to new head coach Rikard Norling.
IFK Värnamo
On 6 December 2021, Hellberg was appointed as the new head coach of IFK Värnamo, signing a two-year contract ahead of the first ever Allsvenskan season in the club's history. In 2022, Värnamo surprisingly finished 10th in the Allsvenskan table, avoiding relegation by 20 points.
Ahead of the 2023 season, Hellberg attracted interest from fellow Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg, but he decided to turned down the move. Instead, he led Värnamo to a 5th place in Allsvenskan, after a strong second half of the campaign. At the end of the season, Hellberg was nominated for the award Allsvenskan Manager of the Year, but the prize ultimately went to Jimmy Thelin from IF Elfsborg. On 17 November 2023, it was announced that Hellberg would leave Värnamo at the end of the year at the expiration of his contract.
Hammarby IF
On 14 December 2023, Hellberg was announced as the new head coach of Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, signing a three-year contract.
