STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden manager Janne Andersson is heading for the exit after his side's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 ended on Monday as the man brought in to reconnect the Scandinavian nation with its footballing traditions proved unable to change with the times.
Austria's 1-0 win over Azerbaijan clinched their place at next year's finals in Germany and shut the door on Sweden.
The Swedish FA said on Oct. 2 that Andersson's reign would be over if Sweden missed out and Marcel Sabitzer's second-half penalty that put Austria through with Group F leaders Belgium sealed his fate before Sweden kicked off away to the Belgians.
Andersson will stay in charge for Sweden's two remaining qualifiers in November, away to Azerbaijan and home to Estonia, but he knows his fate has already been determined.
Named to replace Erik Hamren, whose dependence on Zlatan Ibrahimovic and diffuse statements about "shining" helped to bring his downfall in 2016, Andersson came in as a no-nonsense football man. Results were good at first but that did not last.
Four plays later, Prescott hit Cooks on a 2-yard scoring pass to give the Cowboys a 17-10 lead with 11:19 remaining in the game.
Later in the quarter, Herbert tossed a 1-yard scoring pass to Everett to tie it with 7:11 left.
Los Angeles scored on its first possession with Herbert tossing a 1-yard scoring pass to Allen. Dallas tied the score when Prescott kept the ball on fourth-and-1 and ran 18 yards for a touchdown with 6:21 left in the opening quarter.
The Cowboys took a 10-7 halftime lead on Aubrey's 32-yard field goal as time expired. The Chargers knotted the score on Cameron Dicker's 24-yard field goal with 1:08 left in the third quarter.
