The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was named by Sweden initially for an interim period in late October, less than a month after leaving by West Ham
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following Sweden's setback to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended straight qualification from their World Cup group out of reach
