Glenn Ingvar Hysén (born 30 October 1959 in Gothenburg, Sweden) is a football manager and former player who played for leading Dutch, Italian and English clubs and earned 68 caps for Sweden. He is also a reality television star, coach, and football commentator.
Hysén is the father of Tobias Hysén of IFK Göteborg, Alexander Hysén formerly of Östersunds FK, and Anton Hysén of Torslanda IK.
Glenn Ingvar Hysén was born in Gothenburg to a football family. His grandfather Erik played for IFK Göteborg as did his great-uncle Carl. Hysén's father Kurt also played for IFK Göteborg's B-Team. Hysén started playing football at IF Warta when he was a boy. As a child, he wanted to become a fire fighter.
Hysén started his career with IFK Göteborg and quickly established himself as a tough and composed defender. He was Sweden's Footballer of the Year in 1983 and his form earned him his first international caps and a move to PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
Hysén then moved to Fiorentina and earned continental plaudits with his displays against England in two World Cup qualification matches during the campaign for the forthcoming 1990 tournament. As a result, English clubs became interested in him. He became Sweden's Footballer of the Year again in 1988, with Swedish rules not barring their countrymen from receiving the award even if playing in a different nation.
