The former Brighton manager has had offers from clubs in and out of England but is reportedly not in a hurry to pick a new project as he would like to manage a club playing in Europe’s elite competition.

According to the Daily Mail, Potter has decided to only return to management in the meantime if he gets an offer from a team in the UCL, effectively ruling out Rangers, Lyon, and a host of other clubs that might be interested in his services.
With only 36 teams in the competition, Potter has left himself slim pickings, especially considering his reputation was hit after the Chelsea disaster, but he could still get a team as the season progresses and more managers are forced to leave their positions.
