The New Manager's Appointment
Potter took over by Sweden originally for an interim period in late October, under a month following he was dismissed from West Ham
Former manager the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that made direct progression from their World Cup group unattainable
Present Standing
Sweden sit bottom of their qualifying group having just one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still be involved in the qualification playoffs due to of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
