struggle in the second division ( 1979–1987 ) [edit ]
between 1979 and 1981 the club finished runner-up for three back-to-back seasons, losing out to teams like IK Brage and AIK. After losing several players, the 1982 season become a disappointment with ÖSK finishing fifth of Division 2. Before the follow season 1983 the board decided to push hard for a comeback to Allsvenskan. The golf club signed star topology coach Roy Hodgson, who in the end few years had won two gold medals to Halmstads BK and raw players were brought in. however IFK Norrköping and Djurgårdens IF were the stronger teams in a tough second gear division and Örebro finished third base. In 1984 ÖSK, still managed by Hodgson, won Division 2 North. however, play-off against the runner up of Division 2 South was nowadays required for promotion to Allsvenskan. Mjällby AIF proved besides firm and ÖSK lost both games and at the end of the season Hodgson moved to Malmö FF, replaced by boyfriend Brit Stuart Baxter, who had just retired as a player for ÖSK. After finishing fourthly in 1985, the 1986 season was close to end in catastrophe. The club was only saved from relegation by rivals Västerås SK who defeated Enköpings SK in the final examination day of the season. A modern major undertake to reach Allsvenskan in 1987 including the sign of high-profile coach Rolf Zetterlund ended in disappointment as the baseball club merely finished third .
The Dahlkvist earned run average – Örebro SK back in the acme fledge ( 1988–1999 ) [edit ]
The future undertake in 1988 would be more successful. Before the season, Zetterlund brought Sven Dahlkvist to ÖSK from his former cabaret AIK. Dahlkvist, actor of the year in Sweden in 1984, was one of the highest profile signings in club history, and became a golf club picture as player and coach. coincident with the club ‘s eightieth anniversary, ÖSK secured the long-awaited promotion second to Allsvenskan.

In 1991 a new league system was introduced. In the modern 10-team league, the club finished runners up ( second to IFK Göteborg alone on goal dispute ) but dropped to third in the Mästerskapsserien between the top six teams. The strong results of ÖSK were very much thanks to new striker Miroslaw Kubisztal, signed from GKS Katowice in Poland. “ Miro ” or “ Kuba ” soon became a big family herd front-runner, and even today the ÖSK fans are called “ Kubanerna ” as a protection to the Pole. The impressive operation in the former season besides earned Örebro its debut in the 1991/1992 UEFA cup. ÖSK were however unfortunate enough to draw champions-to-be Ajax already in the first gear round. After holding the Dutch team scoreless for 60 minutes in the foremost leg, ÖSK in the end lost 3–0 and then lost 1–0 in the second branch at home. The surveil year became a bankruptcy as the team did not qualify for Mästerskapsserien but alternatively had to fight against relegation in Kvalsvenskan. After a bad start where Örebro SK struggled to score Örebro effectively secured retain participation in Allsvenskan after an epic poem 7–1 gain against BK Häcken, finishing second and qualifying for the however again amended Allsvenskan, as of 1993 consisting of 14 teams and with no play-off for the backing. Örebro besides participated in the UEFA cup for the second time, losing a close up tie against KV Mechelen ( 2–1 on aggregate ) in the first round. Coach Zetterlund left the club after the end of the 1992 season, to be replaced by Kent Karlsson. ÖSK looked acuate in the pre-season games, but performed badly when the league season started. Karlsson soon had to leave the coach subcontract for personal reasons. As substitute, the baseball club brought on Dahlkvist, who had retired after the 1991 season to become technical director of the cabaret, only to make a irregular and highly lionize rejoinder in the fall of 1992. Dahlkvist know had the double character of coach and technical director. The 1993 season however ended with a disappointing 12th spot for Dahlkvist ‘s team, which meant that ÖSK had to enter play-off to against Vasalund/Essinge IF to stay up. The club was able to stay in Allsvenskan on the away goal rule after the first match ended 2–2 and the come back game at home 0–0. Before the 1994 season, Örebro SK merely made one actor skill. however, it proved absolutely crucial. erstwhile Anderlecht star Arnor Gudjohnsen was signed from BK Häcken. As an attacking midfielder behind prolific polish striker Miroslaw Kubisztal and starlet Mattias Jonson Gudjohnsen immediately became the architect of the most fear attack in Allsvenskan. 1994 became the best season to date in the club history were the club scored 62 goals and fight for the championship until the dying minute of the temper. The sidereal day of the season had a spectacular fit up ; ÖSK, IFK Göteborg and Malmö FF all had the casual to win Allsvenskan, and the latter two played against each other. As Örebro SK won well away against Landskrona Bois, the only leave that would snatch the style from the club was an IFK Göteborg succeed. IFK Göteborg scored a late winner to secure the championship. Örebro in 1994 besides became the first base swedish club ever to score in each of the 26 games of the season. The clubhouse did n’t reach the lapp flat in 1995 as the year before, even if they were conclude to win a decoration, again failing on the finish line. The baseball club besides made an embarrassing third appearance in the UEFA cup, being disqualified after having used excessively many foreign players in the preliminary round against Avenir Beggen of Luxembourg. The supervision raised questions over the double function of Dahlkvist as coach and technical conductor of the baseball club. After the end of the 1995 season, Mattias Jonsson was signed by Helsingborgs IF and after that became a even player of the national team. Jonsson was replaced by Dan Sahlin, who was signed from relegated Hammarby. Daniel Tjernström was besides brought in from local anesthetic rival Degerfors IF, doing the prohibited move. Despite a bad begin to the 1996 season the club finished fifth after some impressive displays in the second one-half of the season. 1997 was a mix season as the club went up and down the table but as indeed many times the club showed forte in the fall, earning them a one-fourth place and the bronze decoration. The shape of striker Dan Sahlin besides earned him the golden boat as top scorer of the league. This year, Örebro again appeared in the UEFA cup, qualifying for the independent tournament after knocking out FK Jablonec of the Czech Republic on away goals in the irregular qualify rung. In the main tournament, Rotor Volgograd of Russia were however excessively strong, winning 6–1 on aggregate. The 1998 temper started extremely ailing and after six matches the team was bottom of the postpone, however the team picked up and for a while held moment point, only to end up one-sixth after having lost their two biggest profiles during the summer break, Arnor Gudjohnsen and top goal scorekeeper Dan Sahlin. The future class, 1999, the clubhouse again started ailing but grew stronger over summer. however, as fall came the form faded and the baseball club had to suffer play-off matches against Assyriska FF and it was n’t until the second match, on extra time, that Örebro was able to win and stay in Allsvenskan. Keeper Anders Karlsson besides became the player with most appearances for the club with 373 matches in total. After the 1999 season, Dahlkvist left his situation as both coach and technical film director after 12 largely successful years with the club, including the forwarding in 1988, the 1994 argent and the medals in 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1997 .
A fresh millennium – mark new worldly concern with fail dreams ( 2000–2006 ) [edit ]
As the new millennium started, Örebro SK was believed to so far again challenge for the top of Allsvenskan after signing bury alia heading coach Mats Jingblad from IFK Göteborg and former top scorer Niklas Skoog in 2000 and after beating IF Elfsborg in August, taking the club to a third base place in the table, many believed they were on the right track. however, due to a concoction of good and badly results the cabaret finished 10th. At the goal of the season, talented home develop artist Mats Rubarth left the club for AIK. The 2001 season was only marginally good with an eighth stead, although the club scored the second base highest issue of goals in the league, after Halmstads BK, entire 48 goals, but the club besides conceded 44 balls. In particular, much needed victories ended up in draws after conceding recently goals in most games. The club besides lost top scorer Skoog to Malmö FF during the summer break. The 2002 on ended with seventh spot despite the lack of previous years goalscoring. After the temper Eyravallen went through renovation as the natural turf was replaced by artificial turf and new stands were built. Another inventory of the baseball club was besides waived farewell as keeper Anders Karlsson retired after about 20 years with the club. The 2003 temper under new coach Stefan Lundin started well for Örebro, but however again a poor people ending of the season saw the team end up in one-eighth place. Promising goalkeeper John Alvbåge and Danish seasoned Lars Larsen introduced themselves and soon became favourites of the Örebro push. The 2004 season became one of the darkest years in club history. First, Örebro had to fight hard to avoid delegating. A heroic verse feat with five straight wins at the end of the season earned a mid table finish up ( seventh, late amended to eighth ), but in the end effort proved futile. Economic problems had haunted ÖSK for a time period of time as the club faced major deficits. even after however another heroic verse undertake by both supporters and sponsors the clubhouse was relegated by Elitlicensnämnden ( eng : The Elite license board ), who ruled that the counterweight sheet of the club did not comply with the standards of the Swedish Football Association. Örebro SK ‘s solicitation failed and the club was forced to play in Superettan. ÖSK managed to keep most of its squad for the first season in Superettan, except for keeper John Alvbåge who left for Viborg, and Patrick Walker who had previously been with the club returned as headway bus. It was widely expected that the baseball club would cursorily return to the peak flight in finical after an cheer pre-season. The dwelling crowd besides had boastful expectations, and in fact booed the team despite a 3–0 win against Bodens IF in the first game of the season. That turned out to be the last winnings for a while. After a awful spring ÖSK was for a while struggling against relegation. A better fall secured a one-fifth spot, but ÖSK were nowhere dear promotion. 2006 started off with impressive wins, but the club lost their goal scoring ability in the mid-season. bosnian Nedim Halilović was brought on from NK Varteks, a sign language that proved crucial. Halilović ‘s goal scoring imprint in the fall of 2006 brought the club bet on to the crown and after a nerve-racking concluding day of the temper where Örebro beat Assyriska FF 2–1 at the lapp time as Brommapojkarna lost to Trelleborgs FF, the cabaret was back in Allsvenskan. The succeed of Assyriska besides marked the end of an era. Veteran Thomas Andersson, who had to leave the slope because of a bleed wound, made his death performance for the club. After this event, Andersson will constantly be remembered as Captain Blood by the golf club ‘s fans .
A fresh restart ( 2007– ) [edit ]
2007 proved a baffling come-back season in Allsvenskan. Nedim Halilović could not find the like goal scoring form and the club crusade with fellow newly promoted Trellborgs FF and Brommapojkarnas IF against delegating ( as the league was extended to 16 teams in the following season, only one team was relegated ). After a summer sign of home grown endowment Abgar Barsom ( previously with city rivals BK Forward ) and the displace of bus Patrick Walker, Örebro ‘s form picked up in the fall and an epic first away succeed of the temper against Elfsborg secured another year in Allsvenskan. In planning for the 2008 temper, the club ‘s board decided to reshape the club ‘s profile. Finnish-Swedish coach Sixten Boström was brought in, assisted by local Alexander Axen. Profiles like Larsen and Barsom left the club, but two early home grown talents were brought back to town, Magnus Kihlberg and Samuel Wowoah. Boström besides showed immediate assurance in the massive endowment Nordin Gerzic, who became a regular after having spent most of his first year with the baseball club in 2007 on the bench. Despite some impressive performances, the team struggled to score and lacked a natural aim musician in the newly adopted 4–3–3 system. Gerzic, a natural midfielder, was often used as plaza fore during the leap. At the summer violate, it looked as if the team would have to fight against delegating yet again. however, in the summer Danish striker Kim Olsen was brought in, which meant that Gerzic could move to the midfield. Former keeper John Alvbåge besides made a popular rejoinder to the team. The new players filled significant gaps and Örebro immediately became a succeed team. After earning seven points in three games against the circus tent trio IFK Göteborg, Kalmar FF and Elfsborgs IF, delegating was nobelium longer a menace. Being one of the best teams of the second half of the season, Örebro finally finished seventh. The successful ending to the 2008 season was carried on to 2009. respective new talented players were brought on the team, including Alejandro Bedoya ( whose impressive first season earned him a number of caps for the US in 2010, although he just missed out of the world cup squad ), Michael Almebäck and home-grown talent Marcus Astvald ( both of which earned selections to the U-21 Sweden team ). After an unlucky begin of the season with two losses, Örebro soon joined the top teams and it was merely a while of bad kind in the late season that deprived the team of a new decoration. Örebro finished sixth. In 2010, Sixten Boström had the opportunity to work with about the like police squad as in 2009, with a fresh accession of Paulinho Guara on loanword from korean Busan. Despite a couple of unexpected losses at home in the begin of the season ( against Mjällby and Gasis ), there was never a doubt that Örebro would be a clear team. clear losses both away and at home plate to eventual champions Malmö FF spoiled the find of a gold, but the impressive and clear late summer home wins against Elfsborg and Helsingborg ( both 3–0 ) revealed likely of the team. The team finished third base, owing them “ little flatware ” and a spot in the moment qualification round for the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League. In the summer of 2010, striker Kim Olsen left the team and a number of youngesters were brought on. One of them, Astrit Ajdarevic had an moment affect. He came on as a substitute and scored a former, beautiful equalizer against Elfsborg away, and then scored two goals in the home win. Ajdarevic was however not equip to become a regular appetizer of the team. Although Örebro wanted to extend Ajdarevic ‘s narrow, he received an offer he could not refuse from IFK Norrköping and thus left the team at the end of the season. The transplant window after the end of the 2010 season became even more feverish. Despite early rumor of an exodus of top players, the entirely players from the starting argumentation up that left the team were Roni Porokara and Paulinho Guara. And Örebro, with its solid finances, went out on a shopping streak, signing a acme player, Valdet Rama, from Hannover 96, former Örebro defender Patrik Haginge, centre-tank Andreas Haddad and young starlets Atashkadeh, Lushtako, Ibrahim, Yasin, Berger and Holmgren. [ 1 ] The 2011 season however did not live up to the gamey expectations of the fans. Despite often scoring the opening goal, Örebro SK entered into three long losing streaks and ended up in a disappoint 12th spot of allsvenskan, an early exit from the Europa League qualification crusade ( against Sarajevo ) and ultimately losing the semifinal of the national cup ( against cup and league champions Helsingborgs IF ). The initially strong ÖSK police squad was diluted throughout the season : center Andreas Haddad and properly fullback Patrik Anttonen missed most of the temper through injury, and during summer arguably the two best players of the team, first Mikael Almebäck ( to FC Bruges ) and Alejandro Bedoya ( to Glasgow Rangers ) left for modest transfer fees ( as their contracts were soon to expire ). shortly before the end of the temper, goalkeeper John Alvbåge announced that he was besides leaving ( for IFK Gothenburg ). In July 2018, Brendan Hines-Ike was transferred to K.V. Kortrijk. [ 2 ] The fee was reportedly set at US $ 750K, making it the biggest sale in the history of Örebro SK and biggest purchase of KV Kortrijk ‘s. [ 3 ]
