At the time, Gren was 37 years, 360 days old. He was a member of the Sweden team that were runners-up in the 1958 World Cup. In all, Gren made 57 appearances for the national team, scoring 32 goals.

After retiring as a player, Gren managed IK Oddevold and GAIS^[1]. Gren also was co-manager for Juventus for a brief period in 1961 along with Július Korostelev.
