Ödeshög before he joined the first professional club
Motala AIF in 1999, where in the very season the club was promoted from Division 4 to Division 3 league championship in his first full season with the club. He was then picked by the
Allsvenskan club
IF Elfsborg which plays in the Swedish top division football as assistant manager with

2006 Allsvenskan and qualify for first time to participate in the

IF Elfsborg offered Peter the role of the main
manager at the club which he refused to accept. Peter will be playing the role of an assistant manager for the
Sweden national team though he is officially designated as scout at present as confirmed by the Sweden national team manager
