SWEDEN have sacked manager Jon Dahl Tomasson following defeat to Kosovo.
He launched a stinging attack on strikers Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak after the match, with the pair underperforming.

The 1-0 home defeat means Sweden’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup are all but over.
They have just one point from four games and are six points off a play-off spot with two matches remaining.
And despite their £193.5million frontline, Sweden have scored just two goals.
Gyokeres and Isak failed to impress against Kosovo with the Liverpool star having the fewest touches of any player on the pitch with 31.
Tomasson blasted after the defeat: “It’s not good enough and it’s a terrible result.
“It really hurts, we forgot how to score goals and I don’t know why.”
Sweden mustered just four shots on target against Kosovo with Newcastle star Anthony Elanga replacing Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall at half-time.
Elanga also started on the bench in the defeat to Switzerland last week.

Tomasson was appointed Sweden boss in February last year but managed just nine wins in 18 games.
Sweden need to beat Switzerland and Slovenia in qualifying matches next month and overhaul a minus four goal difference to stand any chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
