Bo Jimmy Thelin (born March 14, 1978) is a Swedish football manager and former player who is the current manager of Jönköpings Södra.

He is the older brother of Tommy Thelin, forward and captain of the Jönköpings Södra managed by Jimmy.[1]

Playing career

He played until 2003 as a centre-back for IF Hagapojkarna[2] (now renamed IF Haga),[3] one of the local minor teams of the city of Jönköping, in the fourth and in the fifth level in the league system of Swedish football.

Managerial career

He began his coaching career taking over as FC Ljungarum coach in 2005. This newly founded team had its first effective season in 2006,[4] dominating the Division 6 championship with 17 wins out of 18 games total.[5]

Thelin remained at FC Ljungarum until 2008, winning another championship. In 2009 he started managing the Jönköpings Södra Under-17 team, before coaching the Under-19 and the Under-21 teams of the same club.[6]

At the beginning of the 2014 season, the previous Jönköpings Södra coach Mats Gren moved to the role of sporting director for IFK Göteborg, so the team found itself without a manager when 2014 Superettan had already started.[7] The board decided to promote Jimmy Thelin as a head coach of the first team,[8] finishing the season in 4th place (the club's best finish since 1976).[9] In the following season he achieved an even better result, leading J-Södra back to the Allsvenskan after 46 years since the last time.[10]
