Potter's Appointment
Potter was named by Sweden originally temporarily in late October, less than a month after his departure by West Ham

Current Position
The Swedish team are currently last place of Group B with only a single point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet participate in the secondary qualification due to thanks to their showing in the latest UEFA competition
