Graham Potter, who stepped down as West Ham head coach last month in less than a year, has been appointed as the head coach of the Swedish national team. The Swedish Football Association announced Porter's appointment on the 20th (Korea time).
However, every game is 'Guillotine Match'. Sweden has Alexander Isaac (Liverpool) and Victor Jockeres (Arnall). Isaac moved to Liverpool after a sharp conflict with Newcastle United, and the transfer fee was a whopping 125 million pounds (about 238 billion won). It is the highest ransom in English Premier League history.
There is also a sound of the transfer fee for Jockeres. Arsenal paid 63.5 million euros (about 105 billion won) in basic transfer fee and 10 million euros (about 16.5 billion won) in option. Both were signed in the transfer market last summer.
However, the dream of making it to the World Cup is dim. In fact, the prevailing analysis is that it has gone across the water. Sweden is at the bottom of Group B with only one draw and three losses (one point) in four games. Isaac and Jockeres' form for the Swedish national team is also the worst. Sweden scored only two goals in the World Cup qualifying round.
In the European qualifying round for the North-China World Cup, the first place in 12 groups will go straight to the finals. The 12 countries ranked second in the group will be divided into four groups of four teams, with the top four countries in the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League performance, to determine the remaining four ticket owners to North Korea, China and the U.S. in a tournament-style playoff.
The top spot in Group B is Switzerland with 10 points (3 wins and 1 draw). Kosovo is in second place with seven points (2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss). Sweden will play Switzerland next month and Slovenia (3 points, 3 draws, 1 loss).

Potter is from England, but started his coaching career with Sweden's 외stersund FK. After leading 외stersund for over seven years, he promoted the fourth-division team to the first division. In 2017, he also reached the top of the Swedish Cup.
Potter opened a successful era at Brighton after playing for Swansea City. Recognized for his leadership, he took the helm of Chelsea in September 2022 as a 'big club' but did not complete a season. He returned to West Ham in January this year and sought to recover his fame, but failed. West Ham terminated Potter's contract on the 28th of last month, holding him responsible for his poor performance, and appointed Nunu Espiritu Santo as the new head coach.

And "I have a love for Sweden. I love Sweden, I love Swedish football. There is a lot to be thankful for Swedish football. So I'm sure it'll be a great opportunity for me."
The Swedish Football Association held Porter's hand. But the future is foggy.
