Lars-Åke Lagrell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lars-Åke Lagrell (born January 20, 1940, outside Växjö) is a Swedish sports personality who is the President of the Swedish Football Association since 1991. In 2002 Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson appointed him Governor of Kronoberg County. He continued to serve in both positions until 2006 (when he left the position as Governor), which has sparked some criticism because his football engagements are mainly in Solna, outside Stockholm, while as Governor he worked from Växjö. Both are essentially full-time positions.
