From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Backe (born February 14, 1952) is a Swedish football manager. As manager he has won four Danish titles with FC Copenhagen and AaB(Aalborg). He was the manager of Panathinaikos in Athens until September 14, 2006. He was fired after just two games due to the team's poor performance in this time. In July 2007 he was appointed as assistant manager for Manchester City in the English Premier League, working alongside fellow countryman Sven-Göran Eriksson. Prior to taking over as Manchester City assistant manager he worked as a Senior Advisor for Östers IF as well as football analyst and commentator for Swedish TV4. Hans briefly resigned his position at City after a family crisis in Sweden forced him to take compassionate leave shortly into his time at the club, but after a month was able to return at his former post. Along with Eriksson, Backe and First-Team Coach Tord Grip have parted company with the Eastlands club.
