"Potter managed Brighton for just over three years, taking them up to ninth in the Premier League before leaving for Chelsea early into the 2022/23 season. The Solihull native's exit from the Amex came with some controversy, too, as Potter took several coaching staff from the Seagulls with him to West London but it would appear that Brighton aren't holding any grudges now, with a new move confirmed by one of Potter's closest allies."
"After being sacked by West Ham United earlier this season, Potter has wasted no time in returning to management and has taken on the role of the Swedish national team's head coach. Despite the firepower of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres in their ranks, the Scandinavian nation are struggling to qualify for World Cup 2026, with Potter looking to bring friends into his coaching set-up in a return to his roots."
"Fotboll Skanalen have reported that Potter has brought Brighton U18s manager Bjorn Hamberg into his team to become his assistant manager, with the Seagulls allowing Hamberg to do the gig as a second job. The pair first met at Ostersunds, where Potter made his name as a talented young coach taking the Swedish minnows up the pyramid and eventually into Europe. Hamberg then followed Potter to Swansea City, Brighton and then Chelsea."
Graham Potter has been appointed head coach of the Sweden national team on an initial contract running to March 2026 with a World Cup qualification mission. Potter returns to management after his West Ham dismissal and signs immediately to try to improve Sweden's qualification chances despite strong forwards Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres. Potter has reunited with Bjorn Hamberg, who will serve as his assistant while remaining employed by Brighton as their U18s manager. The two previously worked together at Ostersunds, Swansea City, Brighton and Chelsea. Brighton have allowed Hamberg to take the Sweden role as a second job.
