The New Manager's Hiring
Potter took over by Sweden originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than a month following leaving by the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach was fired following Sweden's defeat against Kosovo on 13 October, a result that ended straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable
Present Situation
Sweden are currently last place of Group B having only a single point in four matches
Even if they fail to finish second, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification due to of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
