Career

Daniel Sjölund was born in the municipality of Finström, based in Åland which is a Swedish-speaking autonomous region that belongs to Finland. Sjölund started his career at IF Finströms Kamraterna, when he was a child.[1] Afterwards he went to IFK Mariehamn[2] and IF Brommapojkarna,[2] before being signed by West Ham at the age of just 16, after impressive displays for Finland's youth teams. In 2000 Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier agreed to pay £1 million for the talented forward[3] in a deal that also saw Rigobert Song going the other way.[4] After failing to get into the first team at Liverpool, Sjölund joined Djurgården for the 2003 season, first on loan[5] and later on a permanent deal.[6] He has won two Swedish championships and two Swedish Cups with Djurgården. The 2005 season finally saw Sjölund become a regular in the Djurgården team, and he scored seven goals in the league.[1]

A regular for the Under-21s since the age of 17, Sjölund made his senior international debut for the Finnish national team on 22 May 2003 against Norway.[7] Good performances in the 2005 season have seen him promoted to the senior team on a regular basis. Sjölund was also a part of the Finland squad at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship.

In September 2012 Sjölund played his 200th league game for Djurgården wearing a number 200 shirt.[8] But only a couple of months later the club announced that they would not be extending his contract.[9]

Sjölund signed with Åtvidabergs FF on 4 February 2013 and stayed with the club for two seasons.[10] He signed a pre-contract with local rivals IFK Norrköping during the 2014 season, and joined the squad for the 2015 season.[11]

Sjölund re-signed with IFK Mariehamn for the 2019 season.[12] In mid October, it was announced that Sjölund had retired from football.[13]

Sjölund returned to playing after less than a year of retirement, this time with Finnish fourth-tier club FC Åland.[14]

Coaching career

In November 2021 Sjölund announced that he had signed a three year contract to manage FC Åland.[15] In September 2023, he was appointed as the assistant coach of Veikkausliiga club IFK Mariehamn for the rest of the 2023 season.[16] After the season, his contract was extended for two more years for same position.[17]

Personal information

His sister Annica Sjölund is also a Finnish international who competed in Women's Euro 2009.
