ABERDEEN boss Jimmy Thelin is reportedly in the frame to be the next Sweden manager.
Thelin, 47, is said to be one of the names on the shortlist to replace Jon Dahl Thomasson after he was sacked yesterday.
The former Malmo and Blackburn Rovers gaffer was shown the door after a shocking start to their World Cup campaign leaves bottom of Group B with just one point from four games.
Graham Potter has already expressed his interest in the job, but Swedish outlet SVT claim Thelin is also being considered.
The Swedish FA have been long-term admirers of the current Aberdeen manager and he was in contention before Tomasson was appointed.
He built a stellar reputation in his homeland Sweden after he led Jönköpings Södra to the top division in 2015 and then impressed at Elfsborg before moving to Pittodrie.
