Now with AIK, Papagiannopoulos, 35, played for Potter at Ostersunds and told Lundh on Fotbollskanalen: "The world of football is brutal. He did a good job at Brighton, then it has gotten a little worse now at Chelsea and West Ham. I think the pressure there is completely different than what you are used to.

"I think the national team could perhaps be a possibility. But not the Allsvenskan.

"We chat sometimes. I also chat with Billy Reid, who was an assistant coach. I have a little more contact with him."
