It took minutes before people started speculating who would replace Thomas Tuchel after his sacking. In some cases, there were people throwing names out there on Tuesday evening before the announcement was made.
You had the odd "Zinedine Zidane", "Mauricio Pochettino", and even a "John Terry" thrown into the mix sometimes. One man whose name was mentioned more than others, however, was Graham Potter.
The 47-year-old has done an outstanding job at Brighton & Hove Albion. When Chris Hughton departed the Amex Stadium in 2019, many thought it was a harsh decision from the Seagulls to let the Irish manager go. With the benefit of hindsight, it was absolutely the right decision because his successor has worked miracles down on the south coast.
