Sweden national coach Lars Lagerbäck is quitting after the world cup campaign. Lagerbäck has been in charge since 1998 and has qualified Sweden for Euro 2005, World cup 2006 and Euro 2008. The Swede and his assistant Roland Andersson have both desided to quit when the current campaign finishes which could be on Wednesday if Portugal get a win at home to Malta or it could be in South Africa should Sweden win and Portugal fail to win. With a vital game on Wednesday, Sweden can only win and hope to qualify for the play-off which will prove to be a tough test.
Should Sweden qualify Lagerbäck's men face a tough play-off round which is drawn next Monday lunchtime. Possible opponents include Ukraine or Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina (which would be an interesting game), Slovenia and of course the Republic of Ireland. However the opponents will be decided on Wednesday after the final games.
