In a strategic return to his coaching roots, Graham Potter has taken the helm of Sweden’s national soccer team. The former Premier League manager is on a crucial mission: to guide the underperforming Swedes to the 2026 World Cup.

Following a rocky phase post-Chelsea, Potter's new assignment sees him back in the country where he first made a name for himself with Ostersund, a team he steered to new heights back in the 2010s. Known for his innovative coaching style, Potter is expected to infuse the national squad with discipline and focus amid recent struggles.

Despite the presence of Premier League stars like Alexander Isak, the squad has faltered in its recent matches. Potter's challenge is to harness Sweden's talent to win upcoming qualifiers and secure a place in football’s ultimate tournament.
