Potter's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation first temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks after he was dismissed from West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that made direct progression in qualifying group out of reach
