However, Salernitana had changed their management with the management that had signed Tamandi now gone. He was therefore forced out of the club and made play for Serie C side Potenza. In the summer of 2005 Tamandi returned to AIK and was a major part in the club's successful campaign for promotion back to the Allsvenskan. In 2007 he went for free to the Norwegian club Lyn.[1] There he spent two years before the club went bankrupt. He then signed for Gais and played there for three seasons and finished his professional football career.[2]
