At his recent introduction, the ex-Chelsea manager surprised supporters by demonstrating an impressive command of the Swedish language.
Recently, Potter secured a new role just 23 days after being dismissed by West Ham. He will take over from Jon Dahl Tomasson as the head coach of Sweden’s national team ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The Danish coach’s tenure was disappointing, with the team only winning 9 of their last 18 matches.
Potter is expected to bring positive changes to the yellow-and-blue squad, who have yet to claim a victory in the qualifiers. If Sweden fails to turn things around in their final two matches against Switzerland and Slovenia, they risk being eliminated from this year’s World Cup.
