After retiring as a player, Larsson started coaching on a hobby level. He took over
Sölvesborgs GIF and led them to promotion to the 1994 Division 3. Moving to
Olofströms IF in 1996, they won back-to-back promotions to the
1997 Division 3 and to the
1998 Division 2. Ahead of the 2005 season, Larsson became a part-time player developer at
IFK Karlshamn and joined the coaching staff of Sölvesborgs GIF. He managed Sölvesborg for several seasons. In 2012 he underwent acute surgery for a brain tumor. In 2015 he briefly served as manager of Mjällby again, when the club performed badly in the
2015 Superettan, but Larsson could not avoid relegation. Playing on the third tier in 2016, the budget was tight and Larsson reluctantly took the role of director of sports. As Mjällby managed to climb back and re-entered
Allsvenskan in
2020, and stayed there for several seasons, Larsson gained more and more notoriety as sporting director. He was old-fashioned, having no personal office and not even using a computer. Larsson instead relied on personal contacts in the football world as well as scouting players personally, watching up to four live matches in a day. Larsson ranked
Carlos Moros Gracia and
Jacob Bergström among his best finds. His least successful signings were
Enoch Kofi Adu, whose "gas had run out" when Mjällby signed him, and
Sam Johnson. == References ==
