The brawl is about who should be allowed to coach Truls Möregårdh During competitions.
“Performing ping pong at world level is very much about security,” Truls Möregårdh writes in a text message to SVT.
The star wants his brother Malte – Who is his personal trainer – should coach him in competitions.
TT has had contact with the head of the federation Thomas Buza In the morning.
– We really have no comments at the moment. We are working on the issue, says Thomas Buza.
In November 2024, News24 talked to Truls Möregårdh about the change of the national team:
– It is clear that Jörgen has participated in the competitions and coached, but it is mainly Malte (Brother and coach to Truls) and my family and my crew here in Eslöv and Malmö, which have made me better, which has made me able to win the medals and such. And it’s the ones who see me every day. So we’ll see some arrangement there, says Möregårdh about Jörgen Persson.
Möregårdh then assumes that he thinks it feels messy in the union regarding the issue of the national team.
– It’s almost as if you have to ask SBTS (Swedish table tennis association) about it. Because I don’t really understand what their arrangement is and how they want it to be. Because I think it’s a bit messy. I haven’t really got it black on white how the system should be. I don’t have too much to say about that. But hopefully it will be good in the end.

Thomas Buza: “I don’t agree with that at all”
– If he thinks it’s been messy, it’s up to him. There is absolutely nothing we have experienced. We have made an internal appointment and according to conversation with sports manager Daniel orman So the players have been recorded all the way really, Buza said, filing in:
– You have talked about that when Jörgen (Persson) has announced that he does not want to continue, you have informed that there will be a change and then you have added Tobias Bergman. According to my information that I have received from Sports Manager Daniel Ellegman, he has recorded the players and listened to them what they think and that also applies to Truls Möregårdh. I do not agree with that at all.
