Gustafsson rejoined the Swedish national under-21 team at the beginning of 2022. On 9 May 2022, it was announced his contract had been bought out by Polish club Pogoń Szczecin, and he replaced Kosta Runjaić as team manager at the start of the 2022–23 season.

On 15 August 2024, Pogoń announced they have agreed to part ways with Gustafsson after he accepted an offer from an unnamed Saudi Pro League club. [5]
