Former Chelsea head coach Graham Potter says he is open to coaching Sweden’s National Men’s Football Team a few weeks after getting sacked from his role as West Ham United boss.
Potter built a career for himself as a coach in Sweden when he led Ostersund to three consecutive promotions and led the club to the Europa League group stage.
His success in Sweden led him to get the Brighton and Hove Albion manager role and in the wake of Jon Dahl Tomasson’s dismissal as Sweden head coach, Potter is on the verge of replacing him according to reports.
On his part, Potter has given the biggest green light to such a move by stating that he has feelings for Sweden and adding that,
“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” Potter said to Swedish media portal Fotbollskanalen.
Danish legend Tomasson was sacked after Sweden lost 1-0 to Kosovo and 2-1 to Switzerland that all but ended their chances of qualifying to the World Cup.
