Adam Lallana is reportedly the “standout” candidate to replace Graham Potter as Brighton and Hove Albion manager.
Potter’s Seagulls departure was confirmed on Thursday, with the 47-year-old signing a five-year deal to become Chelsea's new head coach. That leaves Brighton chairman Tony Bloom on the lookout for a coach to fill the sizeable gap left by the departing manager.
"He leaves an excellent legacy for his successor with the club in its highest ever position, and on the back of leading us to our highest finish in the club’s history last season,” Bloom said of Potter’s departure.
