Does it matter if Sweden's foreign football manager speaks the language?

In this week's episode we talk about Sweden’s new men’s football manager Graham Potter and we ask how good his Swedish is.

We dig into a survey of readers of The Local asking how people found their jobs in what has become a very difficult country to find work.

For Membership+ subscribers we’ll look ahead to what to expect from next week’s autumn school break and the Halloween and All Saints holidays.

And finally we examine the latest citizenship news after the Migration Agency announced that it will grant citizenship to far fewer people this year than last.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange.
