Persson holds the record for most Allsvenskan wins for Malmö FF having been at the club when they won Allsvenskan five times in a row between 1985 and 1989.[1] However, as Allsvenskan had championship playoffs at the time and Mamö FF managed to win two of them Persson only won two Swedish championships although having won the league five times.
