Graham Potter built his reputation by helping Brighton & Hove Albion into the big time and a European football adventure

Even if things didn’t go right for him at Chelsea, that wasn’t considered too much of a negative mark and more an indication of the issues at Stam,ford Bridge generally.

Potter’s time at Brighton and his skillset is still held in high regard and he’s linked to big jobs whenever they come up.

He is now a candidate to become the new manager at AS Roma, who sacked Daniele de Rossi earlier today.

Marco Conterio reports that whilst Roma will make a late attempt for Stefano Pioli and Max Allegri is also a candidate, Potter is also a potential target for the role.

Another former Chelsea boss in Thomas Tuchel is also in the mix in what is an evolving situation in Italy, with De Rossi sacked after a winless run of four games this season.

The feeling is that the sacking has come rather abruptly, despite the mediocre recent form.
