Where is Magnus Hedman now?
Former Coventry City goalkeeper Magnus Hedman retired from playing in 2007 after a spell at Chelsea where he failed to make an appearance. However he did make a very brief comeback for 90 minutes in 2013 when he played for Swedish third-tier side Frej where he was working as a goalkeeping coach.
Starting his playing career in 1990 at AIK, he went onto make over 300 first-team appearances for six teams over a 17-year period including spells in Scotland with Celtic where he won the Scottish Premier League twice and in Italy with Ancona.
On the international scene he was the number one goalkeeper for the Sweden international side from 1997 to 2004 winning 58 caps and was part of the squads which played in the 1994 and 2002 FIFA World Cup finals as well as the 2000 and 2004 UEFA European Championships.
Retirement for Hedman has been very eventful and he has admitted to blowing the money he earned through football on drugs, property and a general extravagant lifestyle.
He did have a spell as a commentator for Swedish television station TV4 but was unfortunately fired because of his party lifestyle.
A reformed character, he has turned his life around and now inspires others as a personal life coach as well as doing a spot of goalkeeper coaching on an ad-hoc basis.
