The process of AC Milan appointing a new head coach to succeed Stefano Pioli is ongoing and a new name has emerged today: Graham Potter.
According to TMW, Potter – who most recently worked at Chelsea and is currently under contract there after they sacked him – has been evaluated by the management in recent months, so much so that he was actually linked back in February.
It is in the interests of Chelsea to hope he gets another job given he signed a five-year contract with them that is still running until 30 June 2027. The Blues spent around €23m to get him from Brighton, exceeding what Bayern Munich paid RB Leipzig to secure the signature of Julian Nagelsmann.
Potter has been out of work since but he is attracting interest in view of next season, from Milan but also from Ajax who consider him to be the ideal candidate. It remains to be understood what Potter’s intention will be, given the money he is owed by Chelsea.
The report adds that Geoffrey Moncada is pushing for Paulo Fonseca but it is a name that neither Zlatan Ibrahimovic nor Giorgio Furlani are particularly excited by.
Sergio Conceicao also remains on the table, who could free himself from Porto after the election of André Villas Boas. Mendes has been working with the Rossoneri for a few weeks on the idea.
oh no… not Potter
You all are making us the readers sick already by posting everything that flies from the media here.
Are there any real newsworthy stories out there…stuff that we would want to share and discuss, not shred…
It’s a fake news, Ajax won’t get Potter as he wanted to earn too much money. Can’t blame him as he has golden contract in Chelsea, free money for next 3 years. Also from Milan, they would have to pay him a lot of money just to get in return coach that has just failed. Some no-name coach is more likely than him.
How many $ have Chelsea blown over the years? It’s gotten worse since Abramovich left.
