This is the first time that a manager in Sweden’s national team is fired before his contract ends.
Sweden has been one of the worst countries in the World Cup qualifiers, only winning one point from a draw against Slovenia, losing the three other matches, including falling at home against Kosovo (0-1) and Switzerland (0-2) this week. That’s despite having plenty of national talent, including strikers like Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres and Liverpool’s Alexander Isak.
As a result, head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson has been fired from the team. According to Sweden media, this is the first time that a head coach from Sweden has been fired before his contract ends. „The decision is based on the lack of results in the World Cup qualifiers“, said the Swedish Football Association in a statement.
