Graham Potter: I would like to coach the Swedish national team, economic factors are not important to me

Before firing Thomasson, the Swedish Football Association considered inviting Graham Potter to coach. In an interview with the Swedish media "Football Channel", Porter made it clear that he was willing to take over the coaching position of the Swedish national team.

Porter said: "I have just heard the news about Thomasson's dismissal. It is indeed regrettable, both for Swedish football and the Swedish national team. However, I am currently unemployed in Sweden and have just left the Premier League. I am willing to accept any role that can help. Being the head coach of the Swedish national team is a great opportunity."

"I have a great feeling for Sweden. Deep affection and love for this country and football here. So, it will be a great opportunity for me."

"I'm at a stage where I need to find a job that I really believe in and that I can help with, and I've got a lot of experience and I'm very grateful for where I've been in my career so far. 0 years old and still has a lot to contribute. It’s not about the level of work, it’s about me being able to help and be relevant. "

"I haven't had any communication with the Swedish Football Association yet. I believe they will make the best decision. From the outside, I wish them all the best because I have a huge respect for Sweden and Swedish football. I worked in Sweden for seven years and traveled to many parts of the country. Sweden has played an extremely important role in both my professional and personal life, and I am forever grateful for it all. "

"For me, the length of the contract is not important, the key is being able to help and have an impact. That’s why you become a coach, to help, to be supported and to succeed. I’m open to anything now and looking forward to the next challenge. "

" I'm lucky enough to have a career that puts me in a very good position financially where I don't have to think twice about accepting a job for financial reasons. I'm motivated more by whether I can help and whether I'm excited about a project. I think if we can achieve something together, that's the most important thing. "
