GRAHAM POTTER is set to appear on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football for the South Coast derby between Bournemouth and Southampton.
The former Chelsea boss has been out of work for 17 months after being sacked in April 2022.
Potter joined the Blues in September 2022 under American owner Todd Boehly.
Despite significant backing including the arrival of nine new players costing over £300 million, Potter’s tenure was challenging with only 12 wins from 31 matches.
Since his departure in April the 49-year-old has been preparing to return to football management.
He turned down the Ajax job in May and withdrew from the race for Leicester City’s head coach position over the summer.
He has also been linked with the Manchester United and England job.
Potter had stayed out of the public eye but is now set to make a pundit appearance on Sky Sports.
He will be in the studio for MNF analysing the weekend’s games, including the match between his former clubs Chelsea and Brighton.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Potter reflected on his difficult time at Chelsea taking responsibility for the results and acknowledging the learning experience.

He described the period as a “grieving process” and did not want to blame anyone for the situation.
Potter originally from Solihull spoke about the humiliation of his high-profile sacking after just seven months of a five-year contract.
He noted that leaving Brighton where he had been successful was a significant decision but he doesn’t regret the opportunity at Chelsea even though it didn’t work out.
