Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has been sacked after losing 1-0 at home to Kosovo in a World Cup qualifier.
The Swedes have been in dreadful form in World Cup qualifying, sitting bottom of their group with just a point to their name.
They were also beaten by Kosovo earlier on in their qualifying campaign, as well as being defeated by Switzerland and drawing with Slovenia.
“The decision is based on the fact the men’s national team has not delivered the results we hoped for,” said Swedish Football Association’s chairman Simon Astrom in a statement.
“There is still a chance of a play-off in March and our responsibility is to ensure we have as optimal conditions as possible to be able to reach a World Cup play-off.
“In this, we assess that a new leadership is required in the form of a new coach.”
