Per "Pelle" Olsson (born 1 August 1963) is a Swedish football manager and a former player who works as head of scouting for Halmstads BK. He started out playing for his hometown club Skutskärs IF. During his injury-filled playing career he also represented Gefle IF, Malmö FF, Halmstads BK and the Sweden national under-21 football team. In his managerial career he is influenced by the managers who he previously played for like Roy Hodgson, Stuart Baxter and Benny Lennartsson. Before the start of the 2012 Allsvenskan season he was named the best manager in the league by newspaper Aftonbladet due to his ability to build a low-budget team that is greater than its individual parts.
