Former London Chelsea coach Graham Potter has announced his readiness to take the position of head coach for the Sweden national team, which failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Potter told Swedish media outlet Fotbollskanalen:
I'm actually in Sweden right now, in my house in Sweden. I'm between jobs and just left the Premier League. I'm open to anything, really, where I feel I can help. The job as head coach of the Swedish national team is fantastic. I have feelings for Sweden. I love the country and I love Swedish football. I have a lot to be grateful for towards Swedish football. So yes, it would be a fantastic opportunity for me, obviously.
Previously, Jon Dahl Tomasson held the position of Sweden’s head coach but decided to leave the team due to unsatisfactory results during the qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup.
At the end of September, London’s West Ham officially announced the termination of cooperation with Graham Potter, who had served as their head coach since January of this year.
In his coaching career, the 50-year-old specialist also led British clubs Brighton & Hove Albion and Swansea City.
Notably, from 2011 to 2018, Graham Potter coached Swedish club Östersunds, winning the national cup with them.
