Graham Potter finds his level as he openly admits what job he wants after West Ham sack
Graham Potter’s miserable West Ham reign came to an end just over two weeks ago.
Nuno Espirito Santo replaced Potter at West Ham, after the Englishman led the Hammers to just one win in six matches to start the season and David Sullivan pulled the trigger on his reign.
Potter was one of the worst managers in West Ham history, and his appointment looked like a grim appointment from the beginning, as his style of football never gelled.
However, the ex-Chelsea man is already considering a comeback to management, despite his failure at the London Stadium.
Graham Potter makes new job admission just weeks after West Ham sacking
Potter is keen to put the West Ham debacle behind him, and he may be set to return to management quickly.
The ex-Irons boss has revealed that he would consider taking the Sweden job after they sacked Jon Dahl Tomasson on 14 October, given his history in the country, with Ostersunds FK.
Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, Potter said: “I have feelings for Sweden. I love the country and I love Swedish football. I have a lot to be grateful for towards Swedish football.
“So yes, it would be a fantastic opportunity for me. Of course.”

Potter has found his level with Sweden admission
Sweden are a prestigious national team, boasting the likes of Liverpool star Alexander Isak and Arsenal ace Viktor Gyokeres.
However, it is not the same as managing a Premier League club, which is a constant and challenging endeavour.
- Potter managed 25 games with the Hammers
- He won just six matches, with five draws and 14 losses
- His win rate of just 24 per cent makes him the worst manager in Hammers history
As Sweden boss, the 50-year-old would be able to swan around the world, watching the players that are in the national pool, and only coach when the international break comes around.
The much more relaxed pace, and lower expectations (the Swedes are not expected to win the World Cup or the European Championships) may be his level.
His stints with both the E20 outfit and Chelsea suggest that he cannot handle the biggest jobs anymore, and he may be more suited to the international game.
He was a promising manager coming off his spell with Brighton, but all that hype has now faded away, and he needs to recharge and go again, rebuilding his reputation after a truly awful time in East London.
