Graham Potter to dust off his cowboy hat

Graham Potter said he will “dust off my cowboy hat” after fulfilling his short-term mission to get Sweden to the World Cup.

The English coach was hired by Sweden in October after the national team’s abject qualifying campaign that contained two draws and four defeats from its six group games.

The Swedes were afforded a second chance to qualifying through the playoffs by virtue of winning its lowly Nations League group the previous year and they took full advantage, beating Ukraine in the semifinals on Thursday and then Poland 3-2 in Stockholm on Tuesday.

Sweden will be playing Tunisia, the Netherlands.
