"It's a big day for me and a fantastic opportunity to do something important going forward. I've had a good first time as Swedish national team coach and have enjoyed myself very much. Sweden is a football country with a proud history, with teams that have made it to [major tournaments], which we want to return to."
Graham Potter has secured a long-term contract as Sweden's head coach, committing through the 2030 World Cup cycle. Potter initially took charge on a temporary basis in October after West Ham sacked him in September. Sweden's World Cup qualifying campaign was disappointing, finishing bottom of Group B with losses and draws, but they retained qualification hopes through the Nations League. Sweden faces Ukraine in a World Cup play-off on March 26, with potential matches against Poland or Albania if successful. Potter expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity, highlighting Sweden's football heritage and ambition to return to major tournaments.
