Graham Potter's life since Chelsea sacking - Falklands trip, Swedish ski resort and Man Utd links

It's been 12 months since Graham Potter was sacked by Chelsea. It was hardly the spell he'd hoped for west London, with heavy defeats, uninspiring performances and a long line of poor signings.

Since leavingChelsea, Potter has kept a low profile. He recently showed up in the Falkland Islands, a group of islands near Argentina that had a big war 40 years ago.

Potter, who is 48, has been linked with several Premier League jobs since leaving Chelsea. There were even whispers about him becoming the boss of the Swedish national team.

Potter has a close bond with Sweden. He moved to the chilly north of the country in 2011 to become the manager of Ostersunds, a team in the fourth tier, reports the Daily Star.

Ostersunds earned a famous victory against Arsenal at the Emirates. And he returned to the country last Spring to hunt for a property. According to The Athletic, in late December, Potter and his wife Rachel bought a villa in Are – a Swedish ski resort.

The estate agent involved, Joakim Wiklund, told the local press he had been working on the transaction since last March and that his customers asked him to «keep a very low profile». It was also over the winter, Potter decided to jet to the Falklands, reportedly after a conversation where he'd expressed his desire to visit the archipelago.
