Former Sweden coach Erik Hamren was on Wednesday announced as Iceland's new manager, replacing Heimir Hallgrimsson who stepped down after leading the island nation to its first World Cup in Russia.
Selected ahead of 30 other candidates, the 61-year-old now faces the task of taking the team to Euro 2020, which would be their third major championship in a row after reaching the Euro 2016 quarter-finals in France and the World Cup in Russia earlier this summer.
"I like the challenge and I believe we can do it," said Hamren, who has been a coach for more than 25 years at the highest level in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
"I'm coming into a new country and new team. It's important that I won't change everything. We have to hold onto the things that have worked well in the past."
Iceland's former coach Hallgrimsson, 51, stepped down in July, saying it would be "good for the team to have a new vision".
Hamren signed a two-year contract with the possibility of an extension for another two years.
Under his leadership, Sweden qualified for Euro 2012 and Euro 2016, but were knocked out in the group stage on both occasions.
