Jan Stefan Rehn (born 22 September 1966) is a Swedish football manager and former professional player who played as a midfielder. As a player he represented Djurgårdens IF, Everton, IFK Göteborg, and Lausanne Sports, winning a combined six Swedish Championships with the two Swedish clubs. He won 45 caps for the Sweden national team and represented his country at UEFA Euro 1992 and the 1994 FIFA World Cup. He also represented the Sweden Olympic team at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
Club career
Rehn was born in Stockholm. After playing for a local club, he joined Djurgårdens IF from Stockholm. He made his debut in the senior team in the 1984 season.{{cite web|url=http://biljetter.dif.se/stadion/stadionhjaltar/stadionhjaltar-stefan-rehn/|title=Stadionhjältar: Stefan Rehn|work=dif.se|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908230026/http://biljetter.dif.se/stadion/stadionhjaltar/stadionhjaltar-stefan-rehn/|archive-date=8 September 2014}} He was the Swedish football Division 2 top scorer in 1987.{{cite book |editor-last=Frantz |editor-first=Alf |editor-last2=Glanell |editor-first2=Tomas |editor-last3=Persson |editor-first3=Gunnar |title=Det svenska fotbollslandslaget 1908–2008 |publisher=CA Strömberg AB |year=2008 |location=Vällingby |language=Swedish |trans-title= The Swedish National Football Team 1908–2008 |isbn=978-91-86184-69-8}} In 1988, he was part of Djurgården's Swedish Championship silver medal team and in 1989, he played in the 1989 Svenska Cupen Final loss against Malmö FF.
In the summer of 1989, he joined English club Everton for a cost of about half a million pounds from Djurgården. Rehn started two games and made four substitute appearances for the Toffees. His debut in the league, came 16 September 1989 at Selhurst Park against Charlton Athletic, when Everton won 1–0. Then it was 14 October 1989 when Millwall came to Goodison and were beaten 2–1. Rehn came on midway through the first half to replace an injured Ian Snodin and was immediately shadowed by the Londoners' combative midfielder Terry Hurlock. By the hour Rehn was replaced by Graeme Sharp and this game would come to be Rehn's Everton watershed and he soon condemned as being too lightweight for the English game.{{Cite web |date=28 February 2023 |title=evertonresults. |url=https://www.evertonresults.com/198990summary.htm}}{{Cite web |date=6 June 2023 |title=evertonresults |url=http://evertonresults.com/match16091989.html}}{{Cite web |date=6 June 2023 |title=match14101989. |url=http://evertonresults.com/match14101989.html}}
In January 1990 he returned to Sweden and IFK Göteborg with which he won five Swedish Championships between 1990 and 1995. He then moved to Swiss club Lausanne Sports before rejoining his old club Djurgårdens IF in 2000, winning another Championship in 2002 before retiring.
International career
Rehn, whose parents are from Åland, received a call-up for the Sweden U18 national team but was ineligible to play until 1984 when he acquired Swedish citizenship. In total, he made eight U18 appearances (one goal) and 17 U21 appearances (three goals).
Rehn made his international debut in a 1988 4–1 friendly win against East Germany, a match in which he also scored his first international goal in the 58th minute. He played two matches in the 1988 Summer Olympics for Sweden. He was part of the UEFA Euro 1992 squad, but did not play.
He was part of the Sweden senior national team that finished third at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.{{Cite web|title=Stefan Rehn – Spelarstatistik – Svensk fotboll|url=https://www.svenskfotboll.se./spelarfakta/stefan-rehn/b0e8a1cb-33e9-4d59-a4b4-8f10f64a6e6c|access-date=6 October 2020|website=svenskfotboll.se.|language=sv|archive-date=8 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108052919/https://www.svenskfotboll.se/spelarfakta/stefan-rehn/b0e8a1cb-33e9-4d59-a4b4-8f10f64a6e6c/|url-status=dead}}
Management career
After his retirement, he was then part of Djurgården's coaching staff before taking the job as manager of his other previous Swedish club IFK Göteborg for the 2007 season as a joint manager with Jonas Olsson. He left in 2010. Between 2011 and 2013, he was head coach for Jitex BK, and in 2014 he joined Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC as head coach.
In May 2018, Rehn was appointed head coach of Utsiktens BK. In December 2019, Rehn announced in an interview, that he had agreed to sign a new two-year deal. However, on 29 January 2020, it was confirmed that he had left the club and that the parties never signed any extension in December 2019.{{cite web | url=https://www.gp.se/sport/fotboll/stefan-rehn-kritiserar-utsiktens-satsning-1.23334516 | title=Stefan Rehn kritiserar Utsiktens satsning | newspaper=Göteborgs-Posten | date=30 January 2020 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.expressen.se/gt/sport/fotboll/uppgifter-rehn-lamnar-utsikten-/ | title=Klart: Stefan Rehn lämnar Utsikten| newspaper=Expressen | date=29 January 2020 }}
