Former Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter appointed as manager of Sweden on a VERY unusual contract just weeks after being axed by the Hammers

Graham Potter has been appointed as Sweden's new head coach on a rather unusual short-term basis, the country's FA confirmed.

Rumours of the Englishman's imminent return to management began to swirl when the yellow-and-blues parted ways with Jon Dahl Tomasson last week.

The former Denmark striker, who had been widely unpopular with Swedish fans during his final weeks in charge, was dismissed as the nation's boss after a humiliating home defeat to Kosovo.

Potter later expressed his desire to manage Sweden, where he made his name as a manager, admitting that it would be a 'fantastic' job.
