Graham Potter Set for Premier League Return with Leicester City
Graham Potter, the former Chelsea manager, is reportedly close to becoming the new manager of Leicester City, following positive talks with the club. This development comes after Potter spent 18 months out of the game, since leaving Chelsea in April 2023.
Graham Potter’s return to the Premier League could be imminent.
During his seven-month stint at Chelsea, Potter took charge of 31 games, winning 12, drawing eight, and losing 11. His final game in charge saw the Blues fall to a 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
“I regret signing a four-year deal with Chelsea - I was treated like a reserve player.”
Potter has been linked with several jobs since leaving Chelsea, including a potential move to Dutch giants Ajax. However, it seems that he is now set to make a comeback to management with Leicester City.
The Foxes have been long-term admirers of Potter, and it emerged last week that he had become one of the club’s top targets to take over from Enzo Maresca. The Italian completed a move from Leicester to Chelsea just a few weeks ago, leaving Leicester searching for a new manager.
Leicester City has been searching for a new manager since Enzo Maresca’s departure.
The first meeting between Chelsea and Leicester City comes on November 23 at the King Power Stadium. The game will be the first time that Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium after leading the club to the Premier League, and, if Leicester complete the appointment, it will be Potter’s first meeting with Chelsea since leaving the club.
The King Power Stadium will host the reunion between Chelsea and Leicester City in November.
A return to Premier League football would see a double reunion when Chelsea take on Leicester City in the new season. The game promises to be an exciting encounter, with Potter set to face his former club for the first time since his departure.
