Former Celtic star, Mikael Lustig has embarked on a coaching career after retiring from professional football.
After hanging up his boots, the Swede immediately pursued his DBA Elite UEFA B/A certification for former elite players.
On Wednesday it was announced he has now officially taken on a role in Sweden, taking a hands on position in VSK’s academy. [VSK] VSK are a Swedish top flight side who were promoted back in 2023.
It’s believed Lustig was lending them their expertise before a more formal approach was made. The former fullback will now help oversee the academy and different teams as the club looks to evolve.
The Celtic icon will have so much information and experience to pass onto the young players coming through the ranks. The jersey VSK wear will also be very familiar to Lustig, with the Swedish side turning out in green and white too!
Mikael was a fantastic servant for Celtic and played in some incredibly talented teams over the years in Glasgow. From winning the Invincible treble to stealing a police hat, there was never a dull moment. We wish him well in his new role.
