Graham Potter AGREES to Sweden job just weeks after West Ham sacking - with ex-Chelsea and Brighton boss willing to accept a very short contract to secure speedy managerial return

Graham Potter has agreed terms to become the new manager of Sweden.

The 50-year old, who was sacked as head coach of West Ham in September, expressed a desire to take on the Swedish national job after they parted ways with Jon Dahl Tomasson on Tuesday.

Talks have accelerated quickly with Potter willing to accept a short-term six-month deal with a remit to salvage their World Cup campaign. If successful, there will be an opportunity to extend his contract.

Potter, who was dismissed by West Ham after only eight months at the helm, cut his managerial teeth with a successful spell in Sweden as boss of Ostersunds FK from 2011 until 2018.
