On Monday morning, the former Premier League coach Graham Potter was presented as Sweden's new national team manager after Jon Dahl Tomasson was dismissed.
I think Potter feels a love for Sweden because it was here he made a breakthrough and did well in Östersund and wants to give something back, says Axén.
Graham Potter is a curious coach who values good team spirit, according to Axén.
He is a skilled team builder and that's exactly what Sweden needs right now, he says.
His colleague at HBO Max, Anders Andersson, is also pleased with the choice of national team manager.
Spontaneously, I think it's a really exciting and fun choice, says the former national team player.
What can be a problem for Potter is that he is a so-called "process coach", who needs time with his team, means Andersson.
He is a process coach in my eyes. He finds game solutions for the team by training, training and grinding with the team. But he is also a very intelligent coach and person. He will be able to understand the situation, he says and continues:
I think Potter is a very nice, smart and intelligent football coach, so he has a lot going for him just because of that.
Potter's first international match will be against Switzerland in the World Championship qualification on November 15.
