Jonne Lindblom (born 30 May 1983) is a Finnish football agent and a former sporting director.

Career

[edit]

After working as a player agent for over ten years, Lindblom was named the sporting director of Veikkausliiga club Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) in September 2019.[1][2][3] Approximately one year later, KuPS announced that the club will abolish their sporting director position for financial reasons, without referring to Lindblom directly.[4][5]

As a player agent, Lindblom has represented many Finnish and foreign players over the years.[6] Lindblom is credited of finding Alfredo Morelos to HJK Helsinki in 2016.[1] Some Finnish players he has represented include Eero Markkanen, Petteri Forsell,[7] Tommi Jyry[8] and Ville Tikkanen.[9] In May 2023, he was also part of the transfer process of Abdulfattah Asiri to Veikkausliiga club IFK Mariehamn, as the first Saudi player ever in Finnish football.[10]
