Graham Potter is interested in the OGC Nice vacancy after holding talks with the club owned by Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Potter, 47, was sacked by Chelsea back in April just six months after he was lured to Stamford Bridge from Brighton to succeed Thomas Tuchel. A string of unacceptable results led to Potter's dismissal, but his stock remains high.
After turning down the opportunity to make an instant return to the Premier League with Leicester, Potter has been touted as a potential target for a number of other English clubs once the current domestic campaign ends this month. However, it now appears as though the former Ostersund chief could be set to manage abroad again.
