The Blue and Yellows sacked their head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, 49, on Monday (13.10.25) after they were defeated 1-0 by Kosovo, all but locking Sweden out of the 2026 World Cup, and Potter, 50, has now revealed he is open to taking the reigns to the team.

Speaking with Swedish outlet Fotbolskanalen, he said: “I’m open to anything where I feel I can help.

“The job as [manager] for the Swedish national team is fantastic. I have feelings for Sweden. I love the country and I love Swedish football.

“I have a lot to be grateful towards Swedish football.”

Potter had started his football managing career at Swedish club Ostersunds in 2011, where he took the team from the fourth to the first division, and the last 32 of the Europa League during his seven-year tenure.

Potter continued: “I’m in a very good position financially. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t have to consider finances as a reason to take a job or not.”

Tomasson had been sacked from the Swedish national team after 18 months managing the club, following their loss to Kosovo in their World Cup qualifier.

As a result of their defeat, Sweden are at the bottom of Group B, having drawn with Slovenia,

lost twice against Kosovo, and once against Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Potter was sacked from West Ham last month after a string of disappointing performances for the Hammers this season - with the London club winning only one of their first six matches.

Following his exit from West Ham, Potter said he was “incredibly disappointed” to be leaving the club, though conceded the “results had not been good enough”.

In a statement, he said: “I am incredibly disappointed to be leaving West Ham United football club, particularly without being able to achieve what we set out to achieve at the start of our journey in East London.

“I do however fully acknowledge that the results have just not been good enough up to now.
