"I'm really excited to start this big task and meet supporters, players, and of course the media in Sweden. And to be able to think, talk, and dream in the blue and yellow," said 47-year-old Tomasson.
Tomasson has made 112 appearances for Denmark and taken over from Janne Andersson who left the role after Sweden failed to qualify for Euro 2024 when they finished third in the group stage behind Belgium and Austria.
