Bengt Ulf Sebastian Larsson ( Swedish pronunciation: [ˈlɑ̌ːʂɔn]; born 6 June 1985) is a Swedish professional football coach and former player who is assistant coach of the Sweden national team. Renowned for being a set-piece specialist, Larsson played as a midfielder.
Beginning his career at hometown club IFK Eskilstuna, Larsson was signed by Arsenal. He made three Premier League appearances for the Gunners, before joining Birmingham City, initially on loan for the 2006–07 season, before a permanent transfer in the winter of 2007. Larsson spent five years at Birmingham, experiencing promotion to, and relegation from, the Premier League on two occasions. He joined Sunderland on 1 July 2011 upon the expiry of his contract, after Birmingham suffered relegation. He left Sunderland in 2017 to sign for Hull City in the EFL Championship where he spent one season.
