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.
