British media ‘The Sun’ reported on the 14th (hereinafter Korean time), “Potter was pointed out as a replacement for Rangers as manager Michael Beal, but he refused to return as manager.”
Porter was appointed to Chelsea in September last year. He began his managerial career on the Nordic stage of Sweden, then progressed through the ranks at Swansea City before joining Brighton & Hove Albion. He led the team for four years and achieved its best result of 9th place. Afterwards, he decided to go to Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel’s successor. Although he had no experience leading a big club before, he received strong recommendation from owner Todd Boeli.
The results were not good. Chelsea began to go steadily downhill. Porter received a lot of criticism from fans who had lost their patience. Their performance began to fall below the top 10, with only 7 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses in 22 games. Porter had to be sacked from Chelsea after seven months.
Since then, Porter has been re-linked with several clubs. He began receiving offers from Fulham and Saudi Arabia, but no final decision was made. Leicester City also showed interest in Porter, but Porter expressed his intention to decline. He expressed his intention to rest for a while and make a careful decision.
After the European season opened, there were rumors that Olympique Lyonnais would appoint Porter. Since the preseason, Lyon has struggled repeatedly. We played 5 games in July, and lost 4 games in a row. Even after opening the season, they lost to Strasbourg and Montpellier by a large margin, falling to the bottom of the league. However, Porter also rejected Lyon’s offer.
Scotland’s Rangers also targeted Porter. Rangers are also not doing well recently. They lost 5-1 to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and were eliminated from the preliminary round. In the Scottish Premiership match after the opening, they lost to their rival team Celtic and are in 4th place with 2 wins and 2 losses.
Porter did not even accept the Rangers’ offer. Regarding Porter, who rejected all offers from various clubs, the media added, “Potter is looking forward to returning to a team that has clear potential to advance to the Champions League or to the highest level in Europe in the near future.”
