Is Graham Potter The Next Big Manager? 

As a Swansea fan, his success with Brighton breaks my heart. Why did you leave us, Graham? We could have been the biggest water bird club - nobody likes gulls, Graham. A swan is far superior to a seagull. You’ve got a sexy beard now too - why are you making me feel like this?

I'd love to know how involved he is in recruitment - Brighton has consistently recruited well for their own system. Bit of Moneyball about them with their smart purchases.

There's such a glimmer in Alex's eye when he relates potters man management to his own dance in the super league video. Happiness and Alex, an odd but endearing combination. Great video as always.

I watched an interview with Trossard and he told that Potter was the reason to go to Brighton. The coach flew to Belgium to talk to him about his new system and how Trossard would fit in. He was charmed and signed for the club the next day.

This is great to see as a Swede who's been following his journey all the way from the swedish fourth tier to beating Arsenal and then going to Swansea and now Brighton doing very well. Big fan of Potter.

The latter part of the video reflects on the excellent man management ability of Graham Potter and how he needs that first big club to start winning trophies. Maybe these attributes are decisive why Todd is getting him for Chelsea?

Hes definitely the best english manager right now and his potential to grow is very exciting. If Steven Gerrard manages a premier league club it would be a fascinating clash between the two best english manager prospects

Potter WON the Swedish FA Cup in 2017 with Ostersunds. A team from a town of 50,000 people. That's smaller than most clubs in the English National League.

I’m still in shock Tuchel has been sacked so early on. Considering Tuchel has had question marks around his man management, maybe Potter is the right answer. Still so sad to see Tuchel go. Great vid that’s especially relevant today.

As a Brighton fan - not yet but I hope so. He's done well but still prone to mistakes and odd decisions and is still learning. We're yet to see how we cope without Bissouma long term. Also usually these videos come out just as our form is beginning to wane haha.

I don't watch Brighton a lot this year, but their run is so significant! Used to read about the time Potter spending in Osterund and I think he's such a quality manager. Thank Tifo IRL for making this video!

This video just became even more relevant. Crazy that since you've made this hes made his way to a top 6 club. Kinda like a you called it scenario? Very Cool man!

I was very impressed by his work at OFK. The book 'Edge' has a fascinating chapter about him and his work in Sweden.

I am here after Porter has been appointed Chelsea head coach....this was beautiful. Thanks tifo

Before I even watch this video my answer is “YES”. Spurs, United, Newcastle, all looking for a long term future manager… well here he is. Amazing coach

As a Liverpool fan, Brighton is an exciting team to watch especially how Graham Potter able to make this team statistically good since last season. I hope this season they are able to deliver the result by finish in top half or maybe play european football next season.

So he's innovative, plays a high-press, possession-based, attacking football, knows how to work within a bigger recruitment team and use his funds wisely, believes in developing youth and is a great man-manager.. As a Liverpool fan, this definitely rings a bell.. :)

Boehly search “443 fancy tactics” and this video got recomended the rest its history

Brighton is the team you lowkey root for bc their manager is so good. But at the same time, I feel conflicted because Maupay isn't very likeable imo.

Moyes and his love of the people with something to prove would be a good video. Think his player development is solid.

i’ve been saying for a while that as a united fan if he came to old trafford and brought yves bissouma with him then i’d be really excited. no clue at all if he’s the real deal but seems like a reasonably calculated risk

Love watching Potters teams. Very smart coach, man manager... and seems like a decent guy as well. I know it might be very cliché and old school, but the only thing i would worry about with Potter is his ability to deal with high profile player egos. Nothing suggests he would't be great at it... but with all his teams, he has been the highest ranking guy at the club. I wonder how he would cope with trying to get players like Pogba or Aubameyang onboard. Not that he's really in contention for Arsenal or Man Utd... but ego is a tricky thing when trying to instill a style of play. Great vid :)

Would be awesome to see something like this on Marco Rose from Dortmund. Looks to be a really interesting and talented young manager!

It's going to be interesting to see how things go. There was that report a while ago that the FA wanted him to replace eventually Southgate, which would presumably be unlikely were he to get a 'big' club job in the near future.

He's seems like a genuinely nice guy at a friendly club. I would like to see him take his team to europe for atleast a year and see how his team does with 2 games a week, that's often where you find out how good of a coach someone is, it's a lot easier to drill your team for a whole week than having a day or two to get your tactics and team ready for another game. I thought Everton should him scooped him up, I would like to see him at Leicester or Tottenham, I think if he gets United job, Ronaldo and Pogba will chew him out in 3 months, Arsenal and AFTV will do the same. Klopp said he himself, when he was at Mainz, it's a small market team, big media doesn't care about them, he was able to learn on the job, make mistakes and they weren't plastered on every front page. Living in the states, hot young basketball coaches used to jump ship at every occasion to a bigger job for decades, but over the last decades, the really good ones have figured out it's better to stay put unless the jump is significant, build a program, become a powerhouse and then jump to a truly big job. He probably won't do it, and night see it as a step down, but it would be interesting to see him give it a go with either red bull Salzburg or red bull Leipzig.

Tifo is the goat at making interesting videos i never asked for but i needed

Excellent timing

This aged so well. KTBBFH

I also had similar opinion of Eddie Howe, for success of a manager a lot is also down to the right recruitment of players and coaching staff too

I’m a City fan and I’ve always wanted Potter as our Pep replacement because I see so many similarities. Also I feel like Potter is a manager that can hold down a position long term (of course if he wants to)

Geez, the mount rushmore image of coaches does not include Ancelotti. Wow.

Best channel on RU-vid and it’s not even close

Will you be doing an analysis video about Julian Naggelsman in this manner since he’s often talked about in this conversation of high quality and upcoming coaches? Sure he’ll be in the bundesliga for the foreseeable future but it’s only a matter of time before he follows Kloop and Tuchel to the Premier League. (Maybe even to replace one of them.)

The Brighton and Graham Potter hype trains continues again for another season, hopong this time the hype will last until the end of the season and Brighton will finish in a better spot than last season.

Been waiting for this video. Potter is a great manager spurs should have pushed for him in the summer

This aged like milk 😂

“He’s going to be able to work at a club that is prioritizing long term strategy” And… Potter has joined Chelsea.

Alex and his performative dance ❤❤

Man, you are spot on for this assessment. Today where he is speaks volume.

Could you breakdown the turnaround of Arteta and Arsenal? They went from losing the first 3 games embarrassingly and Arteta being the favourite for first manager to get sacked to now being 8 games unbeaten in all comps, really an astonishing and under appreciated u turn of their season.

Tottenham should have signed Potter instead of Nuno.

Watching this as a Liverpool fan on the eve of Brighton vs Liverpool... I think it will be an interesting match. Won't be too surprised if there's a draw or an upset if Brighton frustrate Liverpool enough while defending. Hopefully the quality of Liverpool's players shines through though.

Love the thumbnail

Yess Here We Go

Im quite excited that Potter was given this opportunity to manage at the top level. His story is absolutely great. I hope he succeeds at Chelsea.

Lads, where did you get that table???? It’s amazing.

Wouldn't mind seeing him at NUFC if he's given either a great recruitment team, or he's heavily involved in that.

I actually think he’d do well in the spurs job. The influx of cash he’d receive from the kane sale would allow him to build “his” team included with the quality that spurs posses right now. As an arsenal fan i hope it dosn’t happen😅

Definitely seems like he’s next in line for a club like Leicester or Everton

Untilt this video I haven‘t noticed what a great beard Alex can grow.

Graham Potter is a legend in Östersund🪄

It’s amazing how, we originally used to have footballers always going out on the p**s together, then that stopped, and now it’s seen as ‘revolutionary’ for a coach to try and introduce this once again.

welcome to chelsea, graham potter

Was thinking yesterday with all the noise about a new manager at Man U that Potter might be the best hiring decision

Yes he is. I still don't understand why Spurs didn't try everything to get him

Back here again to this Video after Chelsea appointment

I really wonder if he could do a Job at United. I know he's not ideal, but there aren't any great fits, I just feel he has a good attacking identity and he's good tactically, it's just could h handle it at a big club where winning is expected?

He's class, I think he'd be a good fit for Everton or Newcastle.

Depends how you define big. He would be a good choice for a mid table team aiming for an EL spot, but he's far from big club material. Remember when you similarly hyped up Quique Setien, olny for him to go down like a lead balloon at Barca? There's a reason certain managers thrive under pressure, surrounded by big names and big egos, while others prefer to be the big fish in a small pond. I'd say Potter is of the latter category, but not for lack of tactical accumen.

Whoever would have expected the words 'No disrespect to Brighton'? Used in every piece by every pundit covering Potter, as all anyone ever seems to want to talk about is how things relate to the super league conspirators. Jahanbakhsh who is shown on the bench left in the summer, Trossard and Gross play on the opposite sides to those shown, the long pass expert is Dunk, not Duffy. There's no mention of Adam Webster who's ball carrying has been one of the side's most effective space makers this season. Duffy or Burn will give way for him when he's fully fit. Its pronounced Alzatey, not Alzatt. None of the dancing and singing at Ostersund was of Potter's doing. Listen to his interviews, he has stated this frequently. I suppose that these pieces will increase if we maintain the high league position that a good start and a fairly favourable fixture list has helped lift us to. I obviously hope that this happens, but would hope that any future ones are less shoddy in their attention to detail.

Welcome to Chelsea

What is the table you use?

Tifo sees the future. What are the lotto numbers?

If I were United, I'd be sitting very tightly to see how this season plays out with Brighton.

Oh he definitely is, him and Thomas Frank. They play beautiful, seemingly easy-on-the-eye football.

The thumbnail got me like, dattebayo!

Real ones remember Potter at OFK when The Chance was going on and his team signed a couple players from Nike Academy

I would say Thomas Frank if I didn’t believe Brentford were going to grow into a big club overtime between their business model, staying in the premier league and how that area of London is expected to grow in the future.

Probably not last season everyone was saying the same about Hasenhüttl and look how that turned out

"Possibly he'll get a chance at a slightly bigger club first and maybe win something." So if he wins something with Chelsea, he might be up to start coaching a big club. ;-)

Great video, but my I make a recommendation for a video? Why does Flick work and Löw fail?

Looks like he’ll be coaching Chelsea if he keeps this up

Your video came true

This aged well

Why don't you talk about West Ham's David Moyes he's team is at top 4 in the PL and Unbeaten in the Europa league.

I have a honest question, why would Guardiola ever be put alongside other great managers or even on the Mount Rushmore of managers when he has never overachieved with any club he coached (quite the opposite in fact with both City and Bayern)

This is video 2 in Tifo's transformation to be exclusively a performative dance channel.

As a Liverpool I'm happy that United are poorly enough run that they're not even going to consider trying to get Potter

He did magic with Östersunds FK so yes!

He's at Chelsea now💙

funny this! my dad was just saying last night how he reckons Potter could be city's next step after pep

Said this about potter time ago. Top 4 sans there best player. Playing a very aesthetically pleasing brand of football as well.

A bit funny this was recommended to me right after Chelsea are rumored to hire him.

"Yer a Manager, Graham!"

I wonder how this landed in my recommendations haha

I'd love to see him get a chance at Man Utd, but I think the chance might come along too soon for the Utd board to be brave enough to give him a go.

Want him at united, if anyone can organise that game of musical chairs we call a defence i reckon it’s him

Todd Boehly watched this and thought ........well

I see him becoming Chelsea coach one day.

So he's basically Ted and Nate rolled into one

He was my number 1 want for spurs

This video aged like fine wine.

Matter of time being 10 months 👏

10 month, he is our manager now

I could definitely see him taking the next step being Arsenal Tottenham Leicester if Rodgers leaves any time soon as I don’t think the Manchesters, chelsea and liverpool will take a risk on him yet without any real European experience but all in due time as the optics of hiring the Brighton manager may not be something club owners/directors want to have which is stupid I know but why else do the giants cycle the same 10 managers lol

Am I the only one disappointed that Alex has not had his nails done?

You called it. Chelsea has listened to tifo

I'd love him at Liverpool after Klopp

Wow. Fine wine and all 😂😂

What big clubs could he move to now? I get the impression Brighton makes a lot of statistical based tactical decisions, so United for example mightn't suit him. Or is that underestimating him?
