Sweden head coach Janne Andersson and former Manchester United midfielder Bojan Djordjic have cleared the air after a fiery row live on TV saw the former storm off earlier this week.

Sweden beat Azerbaijan 5-0 in their second Euro 2024 qualifier on Monday, with Reds winger Anthony Elanga on the scoresheet, bouncing back from a 3-0 defeat to Belgium the week before.

After the result, Djordjic queried why goalscorer Jesper Karlsson was used for just eight minutes across both matches - a question Andersson took issue with, berating the former United man and claiming he was talking 'c**p' after such a resounding win before storming off.

The former Red replied: "I represent you as much as anyone else. I will not forget this answer, it's bad. It's pretty low for a national team coach to say what you just said.
