Graham Potter has been appointed as the new manager of Sweden, only a few weeks after his dismissal from West Ham.
He takes over from Jon Dahl Tomasson, who was sacked following Sweden's dismal start to World Cup qualifying, securing only one point from four games.
Potter's short-term assignment aims to revitalise Sweden's faltering World Cup bid, marking his first role in international management.
He expressed humility and inspiration for the role, stating his goal is to create conditions for the team to perform at the highest level.
The Englishman's contract covers the ongoing qualifying period, with a potential automatic extension through to the World Cup next summer should Sweden qualify.
