Graham Potter has extended his contract as Sweden head coach until 2030, according to the Swedish Football Association. The former Brighton and Chelsea manager took charge of the national side in 2024 and his previous deal was due to expire after the current campaign. The extension follows a period of improved form for the men's team under his leadership.
Sweden currently prepares for World Cup qualification play-offs scheduled for later this month. Potter remains focused on securing a place at the 2026 tournament in North America. The Swedish Football Association confirmed the agreement aims to provide long-term stability for the national setup, per Sky Sports.
Potter has integrated several younger players into the senior squad during his tenure. The association expressed satisfaction with the progress of the team and the tactical development implemented by the coaching staff. Sweden last appeared at a major tournament during Euro 2020 and missed the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, per Reuters.
