Career

A forward, Johansson started out his career playing in Allsvenskan with Östers IF but later moved on to play with GAIS and various smaller clubs in the lower divisions. After his playing career he has had several different first team coaching positions but also spent over five years as a youth coach with Öster as well as being a member of the club's board.[3]

As a 25-year-old college junior, Johansson scored a golden goal in the finals of the 1981 NCAA Division II Soccer Championship to give the Tampa Spartans their first national championship.[4]
