Graham Potter has landed himself a new job and will return to TV screens on Monday night – 17 months after getting the sack at Chelsea.
The Englishman was axed from his role as head coach at Chelsea just seven months after being hired for the position.
Potter had replaced Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge on a five-year deal but was axed before the season ended after a miserable campaign.
And the former Swansea and Brighton boss is set to return to employment after staying out of the limelight until now.

Sky Sports have hired Potter as a pundit to cover Monday Night Football alongside Jamie Carragher.
It will see the coach help provide analysis over Bournemouth vs Southampton while also be quizzed on all topics surrounding football currently.
And there is the likely chance he will be grilled over his stint at Chelsea where he had to contend with a huge and expensive squad.
With the Blues beating Brighton 4-2 in an entertaining Premier League clash on Saturday, Potter will also likely talk about the match as both of his old clubs.
Potter has had strenuous links to clubs in the past, including Manchester United, Crystal Palace and even a return to Brighton when Roberto De Zerbi left in the summer.
But the 49-year-old has never been more close to returning to the dugout when he turned down Ajax in May, though the England job could be a possibility.
And in a recent interview with the Telegraph, Potter did admit he was gutted to lose his role at Chelsea so soon.
“It’s a bit like a grieving process in a way, it gets better with time.

“You have to try not to beat yourself up, but you can’t just blame everything on somebody else. You’ve got to find the right balance. It’s not nice because of the high-profile nature of it.
“There’s a humiliation that it doesn’t go well.
“I was sacked after seven months of a five-year contract after being taken from Brighton, so there’s all that on a human level you have to deal with.

“The first six months were tough because I worked really, really hard to get that type of opportunity.
“I don’t think it was the only opportunity I was going to get because I left Brighton in a really, really good place. So it was about choosing the right opportunity.
“And I didn’t choose the wrong one, it just didn’t work out. I don’t have any regrets over doing it, but, at the same time, when anybody loses their job, there’s an element of frustration, anger and maybe bitterness at some point.”
