Graham Potter, the once Chelsea coach, is on a mission to guide Sweden toward World Cup glory. His contract, now extended to 2030 by the Swedish Football Federation, reflects confidence in his capabilities as he readies the team for crucial qualifying playoffs this month.

Sweden's road to the World Cup starts against Ukraine on March 26, with a decisive follow-up game against the winner of Poland or Albania. Success in these matches will place Sweden in a challenging group with the Netherlands, Japan, and Tunisia, as the competition takes place in Mexico and Texas.

Potter, who returned to Swedish football in October, previously made his mark by leading Ostersund from the lower leagues to top-flight football. He leads Sweden's talented squad, despite facing challenges from long-term injuries to key forwards Alexander Isak and Dejan Kulusevski.
