Re-employment? Romano: The Swedish Football Association has started negotiations with Porter for the national team coaching position

According to Romano on October 17, the Swedish Football Association has contacted Porter to discuss coaching Sweden.

The Swedish Football Association and Porter have launched preliminary negotiations. Porter led Östersund from Sweden's fourth tier to the top flight and won the Swedish Cup in 2017.

Porter said he was "open" to the opportunity to coach Sweden and praised "the position of head coach of the Swedish national team is extremely attractive."

Sweden suffered a 0-1 home double defeat by Kosovo and missed the qualification to qualify for the World Cup by 1 point in 4 rounds. As a result, coach Thomason was dismissed.

This season, Porter had a poor start to the season at West Ham, with 1 win and 4 losses in the first 5 rounds. He was fired on September 27.
