Jonas Jonsson (born 10 November 1975) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Jonsson joined Bryne FK from Assyriska FF ahead of the 2000 Norwegian Premier League season.[1] He played in the 2001 Norwegian Football Cup Final.[2] Ahead of the 2002 season he joined SK Brann. He struggled with a serious injury, and was released after his contract expired in late 2003.[3] He did not play in 2004, but joined Stord Sunnhordland FK ahead of the 2005 Norwegian Second Division season.[4]
In the summer of 2005 the club stopped paying wages to six or seven players with contracts, and compensations to the rest of the players.[5] When the head coach, Vegard Hansen, resigned because the club could not longer pay his wages,[6] Jonsson became acting head coach.[7] However, he was not paid at all for coaching the team,[8] and left for Mandalskameratene.[9] He was playing assistant coach. Despite this he went on loan to Stord in the latter half of 2006.[10] After the season Jonsson revealed that there had been cooperation problems with head coach Svein Hansen. He retired from football.[11] In December 2006 he won a Supreme Court of Norway case, and was entitled to compensation for his injury sustained in 2001.[12]
