2008 AIK Fotboll season explained
AIK continued treading water in a disappointing season. The failure to qualify for European competitions ensured popular coach Rikard Norling got the sack, much to the dismay of the AIK supporters.
Season events
In January, AIK announced the signing of Jorge Anchén to a three-year contract from Bella Vista.[1]
On 29 July, AIK announced the signing of Tomi Maanoja to a three-and-a-half-year contract from Honka.[2]
