According to Swedish outlet, AftonBladet, the former Chelsea boss now looks set to take over the Sweden national team following the dismissal of Jon Dahl Tomasson.

The Englishman started his professional managerial career in Sweden with Östersunds FK and recently spoke of his ‘love’ for the country.

Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, Potter said: "I’m open to anything where I feel I can help. The job as (manager) for the Swedish national team is fantastic. 

“I have feelings for Sweden. I love the country, and I love Swedish football. I have a lot to be grateful for towards Swedish football.”
