Gert Andreas Alm (born 19 June 1973) is a Swedish professional football manager and former player who was most recently the head coach of Latvian Higher League club Liepāja.

He formerly managed AIK and is also a former player for the club. During his active career, he played for the two Stockholm rivals AIK and Hammarby IF in the Swedish Allsvenskan. He also played for IFK Norrköping in the Swedish Superettan and also in Norway and Kongsvinger IL for a short time.

Commentary career

After his active career, he worked as a football commentator in the Swedish national channel TV4.

Managerial career

AIK

On 27 November 2008, he was appointed as a new assistant manager for AIK following the departure of former assistant Nebojša Novaković earlier the same month in protest against the board’s decision to sack Rikard Norling. Together with other assistant manager Christer Swärd and manager Mikael Stahre, AIK managed to win both Allsvenskan and Svenska Cupen during their first year together.

The following year, AIK started by winning the Supercupen against the recent league runners-up IFK Göteborg. The rest of the season was however diasppointing, and Stahre left the club for Greek outfit Panionios in April 2010. Alm remained as assistant manager during caretaker Björn Wesström's stay and later appointed Alex Miller's stay. When Miller and AIK during mutual consent split up, Alm later on was appointed as AIK's new manager in December 2010. Novaković rejoined the team staff as assistant manager together with Swärd.

Alm became a successful coach for AIK and ended on the second place in both 2011 and 2013 in the Allsvenskan.

Vejle Boldklub

Alm was linked with a job at the vacant job at Brøndby IF in May 2016, but was instead presented as the new manager of Vejle Boldklub two months later.

After a disappointing season, finishing in 9th place, Alm confirmed on 30 May 2017 that he wouldn't continue as the head coach of Vejle.

BK Häcken

Alm was appointed as the head coach of BK Häcken on 8 December 2017, his second stint as coach in Allsvenskan.

IFK Norrköping

Alm signed a contract with IFK Norrköping lasting until 2026, but was sacked in December 2024 following unsatisfactory results.
