Former West Ham manager Graham Potter has expressed his readiness to coach the Swedish national team.
Potter put his name forward for the job hours after Sweden made their first-ever managerial sacking, dismissing Jon Dahl Tomasson after Monday’s 1-0 loss to Kosovo ruled out automatic qualification for next summer’s 2026 World Cup.
Tomasson had been in the job since February 2024.
Speaking with Fotbollskanalen, Potter expressed his interest in becoming Sweden’s next head coach.
“I’m actually in Sweden right now, in my house in Sweden,” Potter told Swedish media outlet Fotbollskanalen.

“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.”
The Englishman’s last two jobs in the Premier League haven’t been quite as successful, however, and was recently sacked by West Ham after eight months in the job.
