Potter's Appointment
The English manager was named by Sweden first on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed from the Hammers
Previous boss the Danish coach was fired following the national team's setback to Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome which rendered automatic qualification in Group B out of reach
