Graham Potter linked to mission-impossible job in France

Graham Potter could get a new job away from England after his sorry Chelsea spell.

According to L'Equipe, Potter has spoken to Olympique Lyonnais' leading shareholder John Textor about the possibility of taking over the club.

update: Potter has rejected Lyon, as reported by David Ornstein from the Athletic

The seven-time France champions Lyon are currently rock-bottom in Ligue 1, with their fans thrashing their players through a loudspeaker and the current head coach asking for a sack while on TV.

Graham Potter is no stranger to challenges after he took Swedish club Ostersunds from the fourth tier into the Europa League. But Lyon have all the signs of a mission impossible. The club have been mismanaged for years yet the expectations from fans and club chiefs remain lofty.

It's still not too late for Lyon to climb back up although their current form has to change dramatically.
