Banda played his highest level of football in then fourth tier team FC Café Opera, before he retired from football as a player due to a groin injury he had in 1999.[2] He began coaching youth teams of IF Brommapojkarna and moved on to Stockholm rival Hammarby IF in 2003, to coach in Hammarby's youth organization.[3]
Banda signed on for his first senior team Djurgården on 3 December 2009.[4] Along with co-manager Lennart Wass, Banda led his team to a tenth position in the 2010 Allsvenskan.[5] He stayed with Djurgården as an assistant coach to new manager Magnus Pehrsson until July 2012.
He then returned to Hammarby where he again was assigned the role of assistant manager. A position Banda held during the reigns of three managers: Gregg Berhalter, Thomas Dennerby and Nanne Bergstrand. Ultimately he left Hammarby by mutual consent in June 2016 after four years at the club.[6]
Personal life edit
Born in Chile, Banda emigrated to Sweden when he was a child and returned to his country of birth in 1994, having a trial with Universidad Católica thanks to the coach Gino Valentini, who is a friend of his uncle. Then, he returned to Sweden.[7]
He has gone to Chile to give some football talks.[8]
