He began his career at Halmstad and went on to spend most of his career with Arsenal, winning two Premier League titles and three FA Cups. An international for a full decade, he earned 75 caps and represented Sweden national team at UEFA Euro 2000, 2004 and 2008, as well as at the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups. He was captain of Sweden from 2006 until he announced his international retirement after UEFA Euro 2008. After leaving Arsenal in 2007, he had short spells at a number of clubs in England, Scotland, the United States, Japan and India. He previously represented brands such as Nike, Procter & Gamble, L’Oréal, Puma, Beats, ESPN and Pepsi. He also worked as a model for Calvin Klein underwear until 2007. Lj Jungberg is the father of Karl Oskar Filip, a footballer who plays for Swedish club Huddersfield Town. He has also been involved in the construction and consultant business, Alve Erling Ljunberg, and is the owner of a construction company, Alle Erling & Co. He lives in Vittsjö with his wife, Elisabeth Bodil, a Swedish Labor Department worker, and their two children, Karl and Karl-Oskar. He currently works as an assistant coach for Arsenal. He played for Halmstads BK from 1994 to 2007. He made his senior debut on 23 October 1994 in the Allsvenskan against AIK.
In 1995, he scored his first goal as a professional player. In 1997, he won Svenska Cupen with HalMstad. LJungberg was signed by Arsenal in 1998 for £3 million. He scored on his debut against Manchester United, ending the season with 21 appearances across all competitions. He left Arsenal after the season, and he was signed shortly after by Manchester United. He later played for Barcelona, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Parma and Parma, and was on the rise with interest from Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa. He quit university to concentrate on his football career. He credits the Brazilian footballer Sócrates, and Olle Eriksson for having a profound effect on his career. When he finished ninth grade in his högstadium school, his marks averaged 4. 1 on the five-point scale. He enjoyed playing ice hockey and developed a talent for handball; he was eventually called up to the under-15 national handball team, but decided to focus his attentions on football. At the age of 18, he attended university to study information technology and economics, but he struggled to balance the hectic academic timetable with the physically demanding commitments of professional football. After watching him play for Sweden in their victory against England on television, Arsène Wenger took the unusual step of signing him without seeing him play live on television.
