Graham Potter ‘on shortlist’ for UK job return after ex-Chelsea boss snubbed France offer

Graham Potter remains out of work after being sacked by Chelsea in April and the in-demand coach recently rejected the chance to return to management with French giants Lyon

Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter has been shortlisted by Rangers as a potential replacement for under-fire boss Michael Beale.

Following last Sunday’s stinging 1-0 loss at home to arch rivals Celtic and failure to qualify for the Champions League, Beale’s position at Ibrox has become uncertain just over a month into the new season. That’s prompted the Gers hierarchy to make a shortlist of candidates who could succeed him and Potter has emerged as one.

The English coach is yet to return to management after being sacked by Chelsea in April. That was when Potter, 48, was only seven months into a five-year deal, winning just 12 of his 31 games in charge.

But his reputation hasn’t been completely damaged, with French giants Lyon offering him their managerial position as Laurent Blanc faces the sack. That’s according to the Sun, who report that Rangers are now circling for both Potter and Birmingham manager John Eustace.
