Sweden have sacked manager Jon Dahl Tomasson with the team currently bottom of Group B.
The Swedes have just one point from their opening four World Cup qualifying games with their hopes for making the tournament now very seriously under threat despite attacking options like Viktor Gyökeres, Alexander Isak, and Lucas Bergvall.
"The decision made by the association board is based on the fact that the men’s national team has not delivered the results we hoped for," Simon Astrom, the chairman of the Swedish FA, said in a statement.
"There is still a chance of a playoff in March and our responsibility is to ensure that we have as optimal conditions as possible to be able to reach a World Cup playoff. In this, we assess that a new leadership is required in the form of a new coach."
Tomasson was appointed Sweden manager in February of 2024 after previously being in charge of Blackburn Rovers.
So far in this World Cup campaign, Sweden have drawn with Slovenia, lost to Switzerland, and suffered two defeats to Kosovo.
