Lars-Åke Lagrell (20 January 1940 near Växjö – 21 September 2020[1]) was a Swedish sports personality who was the president of the Swedish Football Association between 1991 and 2012.[2][3] In 2002 Prime Minister of SwedenGöran Persson appointed him Governor of Kronoberg County.[4] He continued to serve in both positions until 2006 (when he left the position as Governor),[5] which sparked some criticism because his football engagements were mainly in Solna, outside Stockholm, while as Governor he worked from Växjö. Both are essentially full-time positions.
