Graham Potter reacts to Östersunds FK playoff qualification, Digi Mart USA News (Valencia, Spain): Östersunds FK will compete for promotion to Allsvenskan, news that delights Graham Potter, now the head coach of the Swedish national team.
Östersunds FK must first face Superettan third-place club Varberg in a two-legged tie on November 21 and 28. A possible two-legged playoff against the Allsvenskan club that qualifies for the play-off would follow in early December.
Potter said he is very happy for the club. “I am a human being and I was there for seven years, so everyone knows how important and special that place is to me,” the Englishman said.
He added that he is pleased with the club’s current situation and with Nemanja Miljanovic, the Östersunds FK coach, whom he has met several times.
Potter said he hopes to watch the matches against Varberg. Asked whether he follows Östersunds FK matches regularly, he said not much, adding that he has many other matches to follow, but he keeps informed through friends at the club.
Potter owns a property in Åre near Östersund and did not rule out a future comeback to the club at some point, joking that he may be trying to get rid of him.
