Graham Potter Appointed Sweden Head Coach Ahead Of World Cup Play-Offs

Wale busari02 mins

Graham Potter, the former West Ham manager, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Sweden national team. The 50-year-old takes on the role on a short-term basis, tasked with guiding Sweden’s faltering World Cup qualification campaign. “I am very humbled by the assignment, but also incredibly inspired. Sweden has fantastic players who perform in the world’s top leagues,” Potter said. “My job will be to create the conditions so that we as a team deliver at the highest level to take Sweden to the World Cup next summer.” Sweden had been without a head coach since Jon Dahl Tomasson was dismissed following a 1-0 defeat to Kosovo on 13 October, a loss that ruled out automatic qualification from Group B. However, the team still has a chance to reach the play-offs, thanks to their top finish in their 2024-25 Nations League group, which provides an alternative route to the World Cup. Potter left West Ham at the end of September after a disappointing start to the Premier League season, and now faces a new challenge leading Sweden on the international stage.

Chelsea cruised to a dominant 5-1 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium, deepening the crisis for Hammers manager Graham Potter. West Ham, who suffered a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland last weekend, have now conceded eight goals in just two Premier League matches— the worst defensive start for the club in a top-flight season. Jamie Redknapp described their defending as “scandalous.” Match Highlights: Frustrated West Ham fans booed their team off the pitch and directed anger towards the club’s board. Chelsea’s victory came despite missing Cole Palmer, who was injured in the warm-up.

West Ham United have sacked head coach Julen Lopetegui after seven months in charge, with former Chelsea boss Graham Potter listed as the leading candidate to take over. The Spaniard had been preparing for the team for their FA Cup third-round tie against Aston Villa on January 10. But the board have decided to act, bringing an end to the 58-year-old’s tenure. Lopetegui was relieved of his duties by David Sullivan after holding crunch talks with the West Ham owner in a meeting on Monday. It comes after the Hammers were left languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table following their 4-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. A club statement reads: “West Ham United can confirm that head coach Julen Lopetegui has today left the club. “The first half of the 2024/25 season has not aligned with the club’s ambitions and the club has therefore taken action in line with its objectives. “The club can confirm that assistant head coach Pablo Sanz, head of performance Oscar Caro, head analyst Juan Vicente Peinado, fitness coach Borja De Alba and technical coach Edu Rubio have also left with immediate effect. “The board would like to thank Julen and his staff for their hard work during their time with the Hammers and wish them every success for the future. “The process of appointing a replacement is underway. The club will be making no further comment at this time.”
