Potter's Role
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation first for an interim period on 20 October, less than four weeks after his departure from the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's setback to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended direct progression from their World Cup group unattainable
Present Position
The Swedish team find themselves last place in Group B with only one point from four matches
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
