A surprise club is reportedly working on a deal to sign Graham Potter as their next manager nearly three months after he was sacked by Chelsea.
After taking over from Thomas Tuchel, the Englishman failed to make a positive impression at Stamford Bridge, getting the sack just five months into his tenure and after 31 matches in charge.

His disappointing Blues stint followed productive spells at Swansea City and Brighton Hove Albion, with his reputation receiving a huge boost during his time at the latter club.
That all seems like a distant memory now, with the Daily Mail recently claiming the Chelsea hierarchy have internally admitted they may have made a mistake in dismissing his predecessor Tuchel in the first place.
Potter has since been linked with the vacant roles at both Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, who have hired Dean Smith in an interim capacity until the end of the season.
It is now being reported that Potter has attracted interest from outside of England.
According to Get French Football News, OGC Nice are pushing to bring the 47-year-old to France's top flight.
The report claims Potter is being headhunted by Dave Brailsford, the director of sport for INEOS, the parent company that owns the Ligue 1 club.
However, the aforementioned executive is also believed to be in disagreement with Nice sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, who wants FC Lorient manager Regis Le Bris to take the hot seat at the Allianz Riviera instead.

It is unclear if the Englishman would be willing to accept the job in France, but he has previously managed outside of his native country, having had a lengthy seven-year stint with Ostersunds in Sweden.
