Graham Potter REJECTS the chance to become the new Leicester manager

Graham Potter is set to wait until the summer to return to management with Leicester identifying him as a possible long-term replacement for Brendan Rodgers.

Leicester have admired Potter for a number of years and it is thought the 47-year-old’s name was discussed on Sunday when Chelsea sacked him after only seven months in the role.

But Sportsmail understands Potter is now keen to recharge after an intense stint at Stamford Bridge, before plotting his return next season. As well as Leicester, Brighton could be interested in rehiring Potter if Roberto De Zerbi leaves, while there is also likely to be a vacancy at Tottenham.
