GRAHAM POTTER has reportedly been lined up for a stunning return to management with Italian giants AC Milan.

According to talkSPORT, AC Milan have the former Chelsea and Brighton boss on their shortlist to take over at the end of the season.

But Potter isn’t the only ex-Blues boss to be on the exclusive ‘shortlist’.

Italian Antonio Conte, also ten months out of work after being sacked by Tottenham last March, is suspected to be top of the list,

But being linked with such a prestigious club will be a shot in the arm for Potter’s job hunt.

Now 10 months on from getting the sack from Chelsea, the 48-year-old is still out of work and talkSPORT report he is keen on a return to the dugout as soon as possible.

SunSport exclusively revealed that Potter was in the frame for Manchester United amidst the uncertainty over Erik ten Hag’s position.

And the ex-Blue’s boss has also caught the eye of another big club.

It was reported only last month that the ex-Chelsea gaffer was eyeing a management return in Sweden.

He’s even splashed £1.75 million on a whopping mansion in Are, the country’s largest and most famous ski resort.

The imposing chalet was built 2021, and boasts of 360 square metres of living space and 800 sq/m of surrounding land.

Given Potter had just been linked with the Sweden’s national team job, the purchase of the pile gave rise to rumours that a return to Scandinavia was on the cards.

Potter has a stellar reputation in Sweden, having spent seven years managing Ostersund, which incidentally is only an hour’s drive away from his new house.

Under his leadership, the minnows flew up from the fourth tier to the Allsvenskan top flight and winning the Swedish Cup and sensationally beating Arsenal at the Emirates in 2018.

Equally, the purchase of a chalet could be because Potter wants to go skiing when he has some time off – something he’s not short of given his recent 10-month spell on the bench.

After winning only 12 of the 31 games he oversaw at Chelsea, Potter’s reputation quickly dipped.

But seeing as Argentine Mauricio Pochettino is doing even worse than he was at this point of the season, his failure isn’t looking as much of a disaster as it once was.
