John Pelu (born 2 February 1982) is a former Swedish professional footballer who played for different clubs in Sweden, Norway and Azerbaijan.
Career[edit]
He formerly played for Helsingborgs IF and Östers IF in Sweden and Kongsvinger IL in Norway.
In March 2009, the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer had him in for a one-week trial as they looked for a replacement for former striker Nate Jaqua.[1]
On 30 March, however, Pelu signed for Norwegian First Division side FK Haugesund on loan, before signing on a permanent deal later on in that year.
Manager career[edit]
Pelu became head coach of Strindheim IL in March 2014. After seven seasons in Strindheim, he was hired by Orkla FK ahead of the 2021 season.[2][3]
