Former Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter has expressed his interest in becoming Sweden’s next head coach.
Sweden sacked Jon Dahl Tomasson on Tuesday following a poor start to the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign that has left them sitting bottom of Group B with just one point from four games.
Potter, who was dismissed by West Ham last month after only eight months in charge, previously managed Swedish side Ostersunds from 2011 to 2018.
“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, 50, guided Ostersunds from the fourth tier of Swedish football to its top division and also helped them lift the Swedish Cup in 2017.
He then managed Swansea City and Brighton before joining Chelsea in 2022 but was dismissed from his role at Stamford Bridge after seven months.
Former Denmark striker Tomasson was fired from the Sweden job after a 1-0 defeat against Kosovo on Monday.
Sweden – who have an all-star forward line of Liverpool’s Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres of Arsenal – drew with Slovenia and lost against Kosovo and Switzerland in their opening three group games.
