 2009 IFK had signed Ljubomir Vranjes as a coach.Ljubomir was then persuaded to become a sports director for SG Flensburg-Handewitt but as a patch on the wounds IFK and Flensburg made an agreement which meant that the team had a certain number of friendly matches against each other plus IFK players had the chance to go to Flensburg and train with them (during certain periods).So IFK had to contract two home profiles to the coach posts instead.
