Graham Potter, former manager of Chelsea and Brighton, is still on the lookout for his next role. After being dismissed from Chelsea seven months into his five-year contract, he recently turned down the chance to manage the Sweden national team.
Potter, who rose to prominence managing in Sweden with Ostersunds from 2011 to 2018, has indicated that his preference is to return to club football. This is despite being shortlisted for the Sweden job, with current coach Janne Andersson leaving the role this week after failing to secure qualification for next summer’s European Championship.
In addition to this, the former Blues boss has been linked with Manchester United ahead of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s imminent minority takeover. This is because Ratcliffe and Sir David Brailsford are thought to be fans of Potter, having wanted him at Nice. He was also tipped as a possible replacement for Erik ten Hag if the new administration sought to make changes once they have arrived at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford has come under scrutiny this season, having lost nine of their opening games in all competitions. However, wins over Fulham and Luton eased the pressure on the Dutchman somewhat heading into the international break with United insisting in early November they are not lining up potential replacements for the manager.
Regardless of the recent speculation, Potter has made it clear that his preference lies in returning to club football. For now, he is still on the lookout for his next role.
