Considering he's from the czech republic, i am thinking he won't be coaching the Swedish national team. He's a legend at home though, and he could probably have a shot at doing just about anything hockey related that he wants to do.

He had a great career, and played the game in such a different way than almost every other goalie since the dawn of the butterfly era. He was fun to watch in his prime as you never felt like any shot was going to beat him. His last few years were somewhat painful to watch though, after he came back from his first retirement. His style wasn't conducive to him getting older and his attitude, never one of his strongsuits in his best days, got many to question his commitment and work ethic. Should be a first ballot hall of famer.
