Only 1 point in 4 rounds! Swedish media: Many people in the Swedish Football Association want to fire coach Thomasson, the first time in team history

Football

In the 4th round of Group B of the European Group Stage of the World Cup Qualifiers on October 14, Sweden was double beaten by Kosovo 0-1 at home and missed the chance to qualify for the World Cup by 1 point in 4 rounds.

Swedish media Sportbladet reported that most decision-makers and responsible personnel of the Football Association are inclined to fire Thomasson. This will also be the first time the Swedish national team has fired a head coach.

However, the Football Association is unwilling to make an immediate decision when fans are dissatisfied with him. Instead, it hopes to wait until the emotions subside. In addition, the Football Association also needs to consider replacement candidates.

If there is no suitable long-term replacement in the short term, the Swedish Football Association may consider interim solutions for the remaining World Cup qualifying matches and possible play-offs next March. Swedish Football Association executives will jointly decide Thomasson's future.

Swedish media stated that there is no obstacle to dismissal from an economic point of view. Thomason is only on a short-term contract until the possible play-offs next March, and the bulk of his salary is paid out in the form of bonuses for achieving target results (which the national team currently fails to achieve). Sources said: "The Football Association has the ability to fire Thomason."
