FSTOCKHOLM (SWEDEN) (ITALPRESS) – He will fight to lead Sweden to the 2026 World Cup, but if that goes badly, he will be able to focus on the 2028 European Championships and even the 2030 World Cup. The Swedish Football Association has extended the contract of coach Graham Potter until 2030. The 50-year-old former West Ham, Chelsea, and Brighton manager replaced the dismissed Jon Dahl Tomasson in October and is now preparing for the play-off against Ukraine and, if they advance, will wait for the winner of the match between Poland and Albania.
“It’s an honor for me, I’m proud, and I feel the great responsibility that this agreement entails. It’s a great opportunity to be able to work towards achieving something important in our future,” said Potter, who is highly respected in Sweden for leading Östersund from the fourth division to the top flight, also winning a national cup in 2017. “Sweden is a footballing country with a glorious history of teams that have reached the finals of the most important leagues, and we want to do that again,” the Englishman concluded.
