Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter has turned down the chance to become Sweden’s national team manager in order to focus on returning to club management.
After leaving Brighton, Potter joined Chelsea in September 2022, replacing Thomas Tuchel.
The Englishman was sacked just seven months into a five-year contract with Chelsea after managing the west London club to only win seven of 22 Premier League games.
He is still due to return to management, but was shortlisted to represent Sweden after current head coach Janne Andersson resigned this week after failing to qualify for next summer’s European Championships in Germany.
Swedish Football Association director general Andrea Mollerberg revealed last month that Potter was one of the candidates under consideration.
However, the 48-year-old turned down consideration for the role, according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
Potter reportedly wants to return to club football in the near future.
