Henrik Per-Erik Rydström (born 16 February 1976) is a currently unattached Swedish football manager and former player.

As of 2013 he was the sixth longest serving player in the world when it comes to playing for the same club.[1]

Career

He made his debut for Kalmar FF in 1994 and played his last game for the team in 2013. He was a defensive midfielder known for a good passing foot and superb leadership on and off the pitch. In the spring of 2008, he was named best club captain of Allsvenskan in a vote from the players of the league.[2] Henrik Rydström holds the club record for most games played for Kalmar FF with 802 games.[3]

Politics

He has held speeches for the Swedish Social Democratic Party. He stated in a podcast interview with local newspaper Sydsvenskan owned by Bonnier Group while manager for Malmö that he wants to "take the fight harder against the Sweden Democrats".[4] This statement stirred reactions from the Sweden Democrats in Malmö who accused him of "bullying and excluding their voter base from welcome to Eleda Stadion".[5] His statement furthermore marked a change in Malmö's neutral stance of outwards politics both regionally and nationally as a democratically membership owned football association as the press officer of Malmö attended the interview.
