Graham Potter secures new role 17 months after being sacked by Chelsea

Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter will appear as a pundit on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football in his first major role since being sacked by Chelsea.

Potter, who has been out of work since leaving Chelsea in April 2023, will appear on coverage of the south coast derby between Southampton and Bournemouth this evening.

He played for Southampton between 1996 and 1997.

The 49-year-old has turned down several offers to return to management since his departure from Stamford Bridge, including from Leicester and Ajax.

He is also believed to be on the shortlist to replace Gareth Southgate as permanent England manager, with Lee Carsley currently filling the role on an interim basis.

But Potter has also been linked with potentially replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

He reportedly impressed in an interview with Ligue 1 side Nice - who are owned by United minority co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS - last year.

In what could prove to be coincidentally ideal timing for the former Chelsea boss, he will appear on Sky Sports just 24 hours after United lost 3-0 to Tottenham at Old Trafford - a performance which is set to be analysed by Potter and co-pundit Jamie Carragher.

Speaking to The Telegraph earlier this month, Potter revealed that he is 'ready' to return to management, 17 months after being sacked by the Blues.

On whether he would prepare to take charge of a club or international side, he replied: "I like the day-to-day and the building process of club management.

"International management is a different rhythm, and there are plusses for that.

"It's more intense when it's on, but you've got a bit more breathing space in between.

"It's nothing that I've ruled out, but at the same time I do like the day-to-day bit of working with the players and being in at the club, and trying to build and make a difference.

"Making a difference to people is why you do this. When you look back at the players you've helped in some way, that's the most rewarding part [of management]."
