Rosenborg's Erik Hamren in running to coach Sweden
Coaching prospects: The Swedish Football Association have revealed that Rosenborg coach Erik Hamren is one of several candidates to take over the national team.
The Swedish Football Association says Rosenborg coach Erik Hamren is one of several candidates to take over the national team.
FA chairman Lars-Ake Lagrell told The Associated Press he held talks with Hamren on Monday in Trondheim, Norway.
Lagrell said a handful of candidates remain in the running but declined to reveal the others.
Hamren, a Swede, has been coaching Rosenborg since 2008 after helping Aalborg win the Danish league. He has also coached AIK, Degerfors and Orgryte.
Former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson Eriksson ruled himself out last week because of his contract with English fourth-tier side Notts County.
Lars Lagerback stepped down as Sweden coach after the team failed to reach next year's World Cup.
