Karlsson on returning to SG Flensburg: Life after handball!

What happens at SG Flensburg-Handewitt? Tobias Karlsson, a true legend of the club and former captain, gives exciting insights into his new life and a possible return to the world of handball. After ending his playing career in 2019, the Swede now lives in Karlskrona and is now team manager of the Swedish national team.

In a recent interview, Karlsson commented on the LIQUI MOLY Handball Bundesliga. He monitors the competition closely and provides a comprehensive league check. He clearly sees THW Kiel as the favorite, which stands out due to its well-coordinated team and the commitment of the star duo Sander Sagosen and Nikola Bilyk. However, the latter was seriously injured, which had an impact on team planning, especially with regard to Lukas Nilsson.

The league's assessment

In his analysis, Karlsson emphasizes the strengths of the different teams. He considers SG Flensburg-Handewitt to be a good team, but they are struggling with injuries in the middle block. Despite these challenges, the club has signed three new signings: Lasse Møller from the Danish league, Mads Mensah with Bundesliga experience and Franz Semper, who is considered a good addition in the right back.

Karlsruher SC takes on the role of pursuer, whose backcourt has been strengthened with Andy Schmid. SC Magdeburg also remains a serious opponent, while Füchse Berlin still have to work on their consistency. With regard to the European places, Karlsson also sees MT Melsungen in the running, which has a strong coaching team and good commitments.

Relegated and promoted

In the relegation battle he is counting on HSG Nordhorn-Lingen and Eulen Ludwigshafen, while promoted team HSC Coburg can hope with Drasko Nenadic, but is not guaranteed. Karlsson also sees TUSEM Essen as being at risk because they lack experienced players.

Karlsson himself has mixed feelings about returning to the handball scene. “A job at SG Flensburg-Handewitt was always something I wanted,” said Karlsson. But whether this dream will come true remains to be seen.

A trademark of handball

In addition to his reflections on his own career, Karlsson has also been concerned with innovations in sport. An exciting development in the handball world is the Steazzi platform, which was founded in 2020. The idea behind Steazzi is to make powerful data analysis systems accessible to coaches and teams to support their decision-making. Over 30 active trainers from all over the world have contributed to the further development, which has significantly increased the relevance of this analysis platform in recent years.

Overall, handball events in Germany are lively and diverse. From the helicopter shots of the top players to the tactical maneuvers of the coaches, handball has lost little of its appeal and Tobias Karlsson remains a central part of this vibrant sport. His passion and competence will certainly continue to shape events at SG Flensburg-Handewitt and throughout the league in the future.
