Graham Potter lined up for immediate Premier League return as he’s ‘sounded out’ one day after Chelsea sacking


GRAHAM POTTER has been lined up for an immediate return to the Premier League just a day after Chelsea sacked him, according to reports.

The Blues axed their manager with the club sitting in the bottom half of the table, having won just seven of his 22 games in charge.

However, Potter could soon find himself back in the dugout with Leicester keen to find out his immediate plans, claim the Mail.

The Foxes dismissed Brendan Rodgers as boss with the team 19th in the league and in danger of getting relegated.

It is unclear whether Potter would be keen to return to management so soon after his Chelsea disaster.

Leicester chiefs are yet to identify a primary target to take charge until the end of the season.

The club are thought to be long-term admires of Potter from his days at Brighton.

They reportedly view him as a potential candidate and if they were to stay up, he could be a top choice for the summer if an interim man is appointed for the remaining ten games.

Rafael Benitez, Jesse Marsch, Ralph Hasenhuttl and Adi Hutter are other names in the frame alongside Potter.

Leicester face Aston Villa tomorrow with Adam Sadler and goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell in temporary charge.

Owner Khun Top supposedly did not want to sack Rodgers after four years in charge, but he felt he was left with little choice after a run of no win in seven.

Potter departed Chelsea with the joint-worst record of any manager in the club’s recent history.

Bruno Saltor is in interim charge of the West Londoners with owner Todd Boehly eyeing ex-Bayern Munich man Julian Nagelsmann, former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and previous Barcelona gaffer Luis Enrique.
