The 2023 season was Hammarby Fotboll's 108th in existence, their 54th season in Allsvenskan and their 9th consecutive season in the league. They competed in Allsvenskan and Svenska Cupen and the UEFA Europa Conference League. League play started in April and ended in November. Martí Cifuentes made his second season as head coach, before leaving with two fixtures left of the season.
Ahead of the 2023 season, Hammarby sold several key players from the previous season, such as Gustav Ludwigson, Mohanad Jeahze and Darijan Bojanić.[1] Forward Veton Berisha that had been signed during the summer of 2022, for a record breaking free, also left the club after just six months by returning to Norway.[2] [3]
On 17 May 2023, sporting director Jesper Jansson decided to step down and leave the club after six years.[4] Mikael Hjelmberg, formerly head of scouting, was appointed as his permanent successor during the fall.[5]
Hammarby had a tough first half of the season, being placed 8th in the table after 15 rounds.[6] The side eventually picked up form and only lost one out of 12 league games between round 17 and 28.[7] In the second qualifying round of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League, Hammarby lost 1–2 on aggregate, after extra time, to Dutch Eredivisie club FC Twente.[8]
On 30 October 2023, with two fixtures left of the season, head coach Martí Cifuentes left the club with immediate effect after Hammarby had reached an agreement with Queens Park Rangers in the EFL Championship for his transfer.[9] [10] The following day, Ábel Lőrincz, the club's data analyst, was announced as caretaker for the rest of the year.[11] Former Hammarby player Richard Magyar and coaching veteran Karl-Gunnar Björklund was also brought in as interim assistant coaches.[12]
After ending the season with six straight draws, Hammarby finished on a 7th place in the Allsvenskan table.[13]
