INFO

Mats Tuve Magnusson (born 10 July 1963) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker. Sober, hard-working, efficient and with a formidable sense of goal. Never intimidated, mentally strong and always indispensable. Very mobile striker, he was very intelligent and cunning. Two-footed player with good shot and sharp headers. Magnusson played from 1987/88 to 1991/92 for Benfica. He won two league titles with the club in the seasons 1988/89 and 1990/91. In the 1989/90 season he was top scorer in the premier league with 33 hits. Magnusson was also in the squad at the last great international success of Benfica, reaching the finals in the European Cup in 1988 and 1990. Previously, the Swede ran briefly for the Swiss club Servette Geneva and especially his Swedish hometown club Malmo FF, with the same great results as he was later celebrated with Benfica. At the Lisbon club, where he arrived in 1987 as a replacement for another Nordic, Dane Michael Manniche, he developed as a top flight goal-poacher, winning two national leagues, and appearing at the European Cup finals in 1988 (lost to PSV Eindhoven in penalty kicks) and 1990 (losing to A.C. Milan). In 1989–90, even though Benfica lost to F.C. Porto in the league, Magnusson finished the competition's top scorer, at 33 goals. During his time with the reds, he shared team with countrymen Jonas Thern (1989–92), Stefan Schwarz (1990–94) - also his teammates at Malmö - and coach Sven-Göran Eriksson (1989–92). Magnusson was able to win during his time in southern Sweden, among others, several times the national championship. Mats Magnusson was a member of the Swedish national team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy. In 1991, the strikers returned to his homeland, where he played for the club Helsingborg IF on the side of a young Henrik Larsson in the attack. With him, the club was promoted in 1992 the first Swedish league Allsvenskan.
