Sixten Boström (born 15 September 1963) is a Finnish soccer coach and former midfielder, who is currently an assistant coach for Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer after being hired in February 2015.[1]
He played for HJK, Häcken, Geylang International, Kuusysi and FinnPa during his playing days.[2] He earned 14 caps for Finland, scoring 2 goals.[3]
As a head coach, Boström was in charge of Ekenäs IF, Jaro and Örebro before joining HJK in 2013. A poor start to the following season led to his sack on 29 April 2014 despite winning the Veikkausliiga in his first season.[4]
