'''Jan Stefan Rehn''' (born 22 September 1966) is a Swedish [[Association football|football]] manager and former professional player who played as a [[midfielder]]. As a player he represented [[Djurgårdens IF Fotboll|Djurgårdens IF]], [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], [[IFK Göteborg]], and [[Lausanne Sports]], winning a combined six [[List of Swedish football champions|Swedish Championships]] with the two Swedish clubs. He won 45 [[Cap (sport)|caps]] for the [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden national team]] and represented his country at [[UEFA Euro 1992]] and the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]]. He also represented the [[Sweden Olympic football team|Sweden Olympic team]] at the [[Football at the 1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Summer Olympics]].

==Club career==
Rehn was born in [[Stockholm]]. After playing for a local club, he joined [[Djurgårdens IF Fotboll|Djurgårdens IF]] from Stockholm. He made his debut in the senior team in the 1984 season.<ref>{{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}}</ref> He was the [[Swedish football Division 2]] top scorer in 1987.<ref name="autogenerated2008">{{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}}</ref> 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 F.C.|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 F.C.|Charlton Athletic]], when Everton won 1–0. Then it was 14 October 1989 when [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]] came to [[Goodison Park|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.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 February 2023 |title=evertonresults. |url=https://www.evertonresults.com/198990summary.htm}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=6 June 2023 |title=evertonresults |url=http://evertonresults.com/match16091989.html}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=6 June 2023 |title=match14101989. |url=http://evertonresults.com/match14101989.html}}</ref>

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 national under-18 football team|Sweden U18 national team]] but was ineligible to play until 1984 when he acquired Swedish citizenship.<ref name="autogenerated2008"/> In total, he made eight U18 appearances (one goal) and 17 U21 appearances (three goals).<ref name="autogenerated2008"/>

Rehn made his international debut in a 1988 4–1 friendly win against [[East Germany national football team|East Germany]], a match in which he also scored his first international goal in the 58th minute.<ref name="autogenerated2004"/> 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 men's national football team|Sweden senior national team]] that finished third at the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{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}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{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 }}</ref><ref>{{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 }}</ref>
