Graham Potter 'REJECTS the chance to become the new Leicester manager' just one day after he was sacked by Chelsea, with the former Blue boss 'to take a break from football' before deciding his next move

Graham Potter has rejected an approach from Leicester to become their new manager, according to a report.

The former Chelsea manager was sacked by the Blues on Sunday after a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa meant his side dropped to 11th in the Premier League.

Leicester also came to an agreement with former manager Brendan Rodgers to go their separate ways over the weekend, and TalkSport say that Potter has said he will not immediately become the new Foxes manager.

It is reported that Potter will take a break from football before deciding his next move.
