Overview

• Potter will take charge of November qualifiers against Switzerland and Slovenia, with the agreement also covering a potential playoff in March.
• The contract extends automatically to the tournament only if Sweden qualify for the finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
• Sweden are bottom of Group B with one point from four matches and no goals in their past three qualifiers, shifting the focus to the playoff route via UEFA and Nations League ranking.
• Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked on Oct. 14 after three straight qualifying defeats, including a 1-0 home loss to Kosovo.
• Potter returns to a familiar setting after his Östersunds success and recent West Ham exit, with SvFF leaders Simon Åström and Kim Källström endorsing the move despite mixed fan reaction.
