Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski believes the Swedish Football Association made the right call in sacking former head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, despite still rating the Danish manager highly as a coach.

“Things turned out well afterwards, so it was the right decision. Everything has gone really well since then,” Dejan Kulusevski said in an interview with Fotbollskanalen.

The Swede stressed, however, that the dismissal has not changed his opinion of Tomasson. In fact, he spoke very highly of the Danish legend.

“I’m in good contact with Jon; he messaged me after my comeback to congratulate me. Jon taught me things that no one else has. I’ve taken away tactical insights that I gained from him.”

“He is a fantastic coach I’m certain we’ll see him again in the future. It was sad to end our partnership, but that’s football. Life goes on,” says Dejan Kulusevski.

"I can play 90 in both games. I get to play part of both games, around 30 minutes is what has been said. That's better than zero, now it's up to me to come on and do what I can." - Dejan Kulusevski on his Sweden minutes Via Expressen #THFC #SPURS #COYS #TOTTENHAM https://t.co/8qS0ZWjPzj
