Anders Jonas Wallerstedt (born 18 March 1978 in Linköping) is a former Swedish footballer and current coach, who currently is the Manager of the Tipselit team of GIF Sundsvall. He is known for his aerial and goal scoring abilities. He is nicknamed "Walle" by both fans and teammates. During his career he has represented three clubs in the Swedish top flight, Allsvenskan, and was a part of the IFK Göteborg team that won 2007 Allsvenskan. He was also the first Swedish player to have played in the Russian Premier League.
After playing for two local clubs, he joined IFK Norrköping in 1995. He would become a reliable force at top for his team, scoring 31 goals in 123 appearances, and was capped for the Swedish national football team several times in 1999 and 2000. He was also chosen as "Årets herrfotbollsspelare i Östergötland" (Male footballer of the year in Östergötland) 1999.IFK Norrköping was relegated to Superettan after the 2002 season and Wallerstedt decided to try his luck elsewhere attending trials with both Norwegian club Bryne FK and with the Russian club Torpedo-Metallurg. He eventually moved to the Russian club, signing a three-year deal in February 2003, thus becoming the first Swedish player to play in the Russian Premier League.
Wallerstedt returned to Allsvenskan 1 July 2003, after only 5 months in Russia. FIFA allowed the transfer to go through despite their 12-month rule because of Torpedo-Metallurg's administrative problems with both obtaining a visa for the player and paying his wages. This also meant that Wallerstedt transferred to his new team without a transfer fee as his three-year deal with the Russian club no longer was binding. Wallerstedt instantly became a starter and scored 4 goals in 15 starts during his first season, helping his club avoiding direct relegation by mere 2 points and winning the playoff game against BK Häcken on away goals.
