In 1965, Halmstads was demoted to Division 3. From 1966 to 1968, the team regained their Division 2 status after dominating Division 3 with a goal difference of 87 to 23, a record in the Swedish league system.[3] After Halmstads triumphant return to Division 2, Alexandersson along with three other teammates became the first contracted players for the club.
After his retirement from football, Lennart settled in Falkenberg with his wife and three sons. Two of his sons eventually went on to play for Halmstads BK. His son Niclas helped lead the team to the Svenska Cupen in 1995. As of June 2002, he had two grandchildren from his son Niclas.[4]
