Jimmy Jan-Anders Wargh (born 9 April 1976) is a Finnish football executive, football manager and a former player who played as a midfielder. He is currently the CEO and the club director of Veikkausliiga club IFK Mariehamn, which he previously coached.[1][2][3][4][5]

Playing career[edit]

Wargh started football in youth teams of local clubs Pedersöre FF and FF Jaro in Pietarsaari. As a senior player, he played mostly for Jaro first team, but also represented GBK Kokkola, Jakobstads BK and Skjetten in Norway. Prior to his retirement after the 2008 season, Wargh had made a total of 179 appearances in Finnish top-tier Veikkausliiga with Jaro, scoring 15 goals.[6]

Wargh has worked as a youth coach for Jaro in 2016–2019. He has also coached JBK in lower divisions and Jaro in second-tier Ykkönen in 2021–2022.[7]

For the 2023 Veikkausliiga season, Wargh joined the coaching team of Daniel Norrmén in Veikkausliiga club IFK Mariehamn. After the dismissal of Norrmén in August 2023, Wargh was appointed the manager of IFK Mariehamn for the rest of the season. It was also announced that he will start as the club's chief executive officer and club director in the 2024 season,[8][9][10][11][12] after the retirement of long-term club president Peter Mattsson.[13]
