July 28 (Bloomberg) -- Tele2 AB Chief Executive Officer Lars-Johan Jarnheimer is a possible candidate to succeed Ikea CEO Anders Dahlvig, who will leave in the next two years, Dagens Industri reported, without saying where it got the information.

Jarnheimer, who has announced his departure at Stockholm- based Tele2, was an apprentice at Ikea and sits on the board of the company controlling Ikea, the newspaper said. None of founder Ingvar Kamprad's three sons will take over from Dahlvig, the newspaper said.

Ikea is the world's largest home-furnishings retailer. Tele2 is Sweden's second-biggest phone company.
