Graham Potter takes Sweden job on short deal with World Cup target

Graham Potter has been appointed as the new head coach of the Swedish national team on a short-term contract. His primary objective is to guide Sweden to the 2022 World Cup. Sweden are currently at the bottom of their qualifying group, with one point from four games. Potter will take charge of the team's final two qualifiers in November, with the potential for his contract to be extended if Sweden secure a spot in the playoffs. Sweden have a chance to reach the playoffs even if they do not finish second in their group, as they won their Nations League group. The 12 qualifying group runners-up will be joined by the four best-ranked Nations League section winners in the March playoffs. The article emphasizes that Potter's appointment is a short-term measure, with the goal of helping Sweden achieve their World Cup ambition.
