John Pelu (born 2 February 1982) is a former Swedish professional footballer who played for different clubs in Sweden, Norway and Azerbaijan.
Career
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
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]
