Graham Potter has been appointed the new Sweden boss on a short-term deal with the task of helping them qualify for the World Cup finals.
Potter replaces Jon Dahl Tomasson, who was dismissed last week following a 1-0 defeat at home to Kosovo that left Sweden bottom of Group B and struggling to qualify for next summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The 50-year-old’s deal covers the remaining two pool matches as well as a potential play-off in March that Sweden could use as a fall-back after winning their Nations League group. His contract will automatically be extended to cover the World Cup should Sweden qualify.
“Together with the players, I want to realise the supporters’ dream of a tournament next summer,” he told the Swedish FA website.
