Graham Stephen Potter (born 20 May 1975) is an English professional football manager and former player who played as a left-back. He is the head coach of Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.

In a 13-year playing career, he made 307 appearances in the Football League. He also played in the Premier League for Southampton and the Football Conference for Shrewsbury Town. At international level, he was capped once for England at under-21 level.

Potter started his managerial career in January 2011 with Swedish club Östersund. He won three promotions and the Svenska Cupen with Östersund, leading them to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League knockout stage. He was appointed manager of Championship club Swansea City in June 2018, and moved on to Brighton & Hove Albion of the Premier League a year later.

Playing career[]

Born in Solihull, West Midlands, Potter began his career as a trainee at Birmingham City.[1] After a loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers, he moved on to Stoke City, then to Southampton,[3] where he played in the 6–3 win over Manchester United in 1996.[4] While a Southampton player, he was capped for England U21s in a European Championships qualifier against Moldova.[5]

He joined West Bromwich Albion in 1997, and after three-and-a-half years, which included loan spells at Northampton Town and Reading, he signed for York City.[3]

Potter moved from York City to Boston United in the summer of 2003.[6] He joined Shrewsbury Town on loan in November 2003.[7] In 2004, he moved on a free transfer to Macclesfield Town, where he finished his senior playing career.[3]

Coaching and managerial career[]

Early career[]

With support from the Professional Footballers' Association, Potter graduated from the Open University in December 2005 with a degree in Social Sciences.[8] He worked as a football development manager for the University of Hull and as technical director for the Ghana women's team at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup.[9] He became assistant coach for the England Universities Squad,[10] before joining Leeds Metropolitan University in a similar role; while at Leeds, he completed a master's in leadership and emotional intelligence.[9]

Östersund[]

In December 2010, Potter signed a three-year contract as coach of Östersund, who were then playing in the fourth tier of Swedish football, starting on 24 January 2011.[11] Potter was offered the job after Graeme Jones, his friend and assistant to Roberto Martínez at Swansea City, recommended him to chairman Daniel Kindberg after their pre-season friendly with Swansea.[12]

In 2013, after two successive promotions, Potter extended his contract with the club for another three years.[13] On 27 October 2015, Östersund secured promotion to the Swedish top flight, Allsvenskan, for the first time in their history following a second-place finish in the 2015 Superettan.[14] Östersund finished their debut season in eighth place, winning plaudits for their "slick passing game" and competing on a limited budget.[15][16]

On 13 April 2017, Potter's Östersund team won the Svenska Cupen, beating Norrköping 4–1 in the final.[17] This granted the team a place in the second qualifying round of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League where they defeated Galatasaray 3–1 on aggregate.[18] In the third round they defeated Fola Esch 3–1 on aggregate[19] and in the play-offs they knocked out PAOK (3–3 on aggregate with more away goals), thus securing a historic entry into the Europa League group stage.[20][15] They finished second in their group, level on points with Athletic Bilbao.[21] Despite beating Arsenal 2–1 at the Emirates Stadium, they were eliminated from the competition after losing 4–2 on aggregate.[22] Östersund finished their domestic league season in fifth place.[18]

Swansea City[]

Potter as manager of Swansea City in 2018

Potter was appointed manager of newly relegated Championship club Swansea City on 11 June 2018 on a three-year contract.[23] He was joined by assistant manager Billy Reid and recruitment analyst Kyle Macaulay.[23] On his appointment, Potter said "This is a Premier League club from the last seven years and it wants to try to get back, but get back in a way that there is an identity and an understanding of what they want to be on the pitch. That was the interesting thing for me – the chance to build something".[24]

Potter won his first match as Swansea boss with a 2–1 victory over Sheffield United, with goals from striker Oli McBurnie and former Liverpool youngster Yan Dhanda.[25] His first game at Swansea's Liberty Stadium was a 1–0 win against Preston North End.[26] In his first season at the club, Swansea reached the quarter-finals of the 2018–19 FA Cup, where they hosted Manchester City. They initially led the Premier League champions 2–0 after 30 minutes but three goals in the last 20 minutes, one from Bernardo Silva, an own goal from Kristoffer Nordfeldt and a late winner from Sergio Agüero defeated Potter's side.[27] They finished 10th in the league, after a strong end of season run gave Swansea a slim chance of making the play-offs going into the last three matches of the season.[28][29]

After Chris Hughton was dismissed as Brighton & Hove Albion manager at the end of the 2018–19 season, Potter was heavily linked with the managerial vacancy, with Albion making an official approach for his services which Swansea initially rejected.[30] However, several days later, Potter informed Swansea of his desire to leave the club and bring several of his backroom staff with him to Brighton. Swansea initially offered Potter a new contract to remain at the club, which would have made him one of the Championship's highest earning managers.[31] However, the club eventually granted permission for Potter to begin talks with Brighton, who would reportedly pay Swansea about £3m in compensation for Potter and his backroom staff.[32]

Brighton & Hove Albion[]

2019–20 season: Debut season[]

Potter was appointed head coach of Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion on 20 May 2019, signing a four-year contract.[33][34] Brighton were victorious in Potter's first match, defeating Watford in a 3–0 away victory in what was also his first game in charge of a Premier League side.[35] Potter's first official home game in charge of Brighton came on 17 August against West Ham where a Leandro Trossard goal was correctly ruled out for offside by VAR which denied Brighton the lead. However, he later went on to score an equaliser to make it 1–1 shortly after Javier Hernández put West Ham a goal up.[36] His first defeat in the Premier League came on 24 August coming at Falmer Stadium against south coast rivals, Southampton where they lost 2–0 with Florin Andone receiving a straight red card for a poorly judged tackle on Yan Valery.[37] His second win as Brighton manager came at Bristol Rovers where they won 2–1 in the EFL Cup.[38] They went on to lose in the next round on 25 September, losing 3–1 at home to Aston Villa where Potter gave ten Brighton players their debuts in the youthful side of an average age of just over 21.[39] Without a league win since the opening game of season Brighton were starting to drop down the table sitting in 16th after seven games. On 5 October, after a six-game winless run Brighton claimed a 3–0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur where Aaron Connolly – who has benefited in game time under Potter – scored two goals in his first ever Premier League start.[40] Brighton went on to have a streak of three league defeats in November losing to Manchester United, Leicester City and Liverpool but went on to beat Arsenal 2–1 away from home to end the poor run on 5 December.[41][42][43][44] After leading The Swans to a quarter final place in the FA Cup the previous season he led The Seagulls to an immediate exit from the competition in a 1–0 home defeat against Sheffield Wednesday on 4 January 2020.[27][45] The 0–0 draw away against Wolves on 7 March – in which he gave Alexis Mac Allister his Albion debut – turned out to be the last game in over three months due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.[46][47] Brighton faced Arsenal on 20 June in their first game back after the league suspension in which the Sussex club achieved their first ever league double over The Gunners after a 2–1 home victory.[48] Potter successfully guided Brighton to safety after a 0–0 home draw against Newcastle on 20 July.[49] Potter's first season as Brighton manager was a success with Brighton recording their highest points and goals in the Premier League, collecting 41 points and scoring 39, finishing in 15th – joint highest finish along with the 2017–18 season – after a 2–1 away win over Burnley on the last game of the season.[50]

2020–21 season[]

Brighton lost 3–1 at home to Chelsea in their opening game of the 2020–21 season, where Potter handed Ben White his league debut for Brighton in his Premier League debut. He also started new signing Adam Lallana.[51] Brighton thrashed Portsmouth 4–0 in the EFL Cup on 17 September, where Alexis Mac Allister, Viktor Gyökeres and Bernardo all scored their first Albion goals, with Alireza Jahanbakhsh scoring the other, his third for the club. He handed debuts in this game to Joël Veltman and Max Sanders.[52] The Seagulls won their first league match of the season in their second game which was away at Newcastle where they kept their Premier League unbeaten run against The Magpies (seven games) in the 3–0 victory.[53] On 24 September, long serving midfielder Dale Stephens joined Burnley after six and a half years with the Sussex club with Potter describing him as a 'fantastic servant for this club.'[54][55] Brighton lost 3–2 at home to Manchester United on 26 September with United scoring a penalty after the final whistle due to VAR awarding a penalty for handball on Neal Maupay right at the end. Bruno Fernandes made it 3–2 from spot confirming Potter's 100th defeat as a manager.[56]

Brighton's first home win of the season came on 31 January 2021, a 1–0 victory over Tottenham with Leandro Trossard scoring the only goal of the game and to take all three points at Falmer Stadium for the first time since a 2–1 victory over Arsenal on 20 June 2020.[57][48] Three days later, The Seagulls beat defending champions Liverpool 1–0 at Anfield for the first time in their history and the first league win at Liverpool since 1982 with Steven Alzate scoring his first ever Premier League goal.[58] Brighton drew their home fixture against Liverpool on 28 November, earlier in the season, meaning that The Seagulls went unbeaten by the champions in the 2020–21 campaign.[59] On 20 April, Brighton drew away against Chelsea finishing 0–0, with the Sussex side claiming their first ever point at Stamford Bridge.[60] On the same night Chelsea pulled out of the proposed plans of the European Super League with Potter saying about the competition, "We feel it stands against everything we know as football." Praising the protesting Chelsea fans prior to kick off, "Credit to the fans for making their case, and the quicker we get back to playing for points the better. We were a little bit delayed but the supporters are the most important thing."[61] Two days later, while attending a press conference Potter appeared to have suffered a facial injury with a cut just below his left eye. "I would love to be able to tell you that there’s a heroic, chivalrous story here, that I can make myself look really good, but unfortunately I just missed my footing walking home on some steps and then went crashing into a metal railing", joking that his modelling days were already long gone.[62] On 18 May, with fans returning to The Amex, Brighton came from 2–0 down to defeat champions Manchester City 3–2, with Dan Burn scoring the winner with his first ever goal for the club. This was Brighton's first league victory over the Sky Blues since 1989 and achieved their first ever Premier League win without captain Lewis Dunk in the side, who was out suspended.[63] Brighton lost 2–0 away at Arsenal in the next game, the last game of the season. Potter's second year in charge of The Albion finished with a record equalling points tally of 41 points, which they also achieved the season before, however, they finished in 16th, a place below the previous season. Brighton scored 40 goals in the Premier League, conceding 46, with a minus 6 goal difference and keeping 12 clean sheets, all being new club record statistics for Brighton while playing in the Premier League.[64]

2021–22 season[]

Brighton drew, won and lost in the 2021–22 pre-season. A goalless draw at defending Scottish champions Rangers, a 3–1 away win at Luton Town with summer signing Enock Mwepu on the scoresheet, ending pre-season with a 2–0 home loss against La Liga side Getafe.[65][66][67] Brighton came from behind to beat Burnley 2–1 at Turf Moor on the opening game of the season on 14 August with Potter starting Shane Duffy for his first Albion appearance since the 2019–20 season after spending the previous season on loan at Celtic. Potter praised Duffy during pre-season stating "He has done really well since he has been back" from his time in Glasgow.[68][69]

On 24 August, in the second round EFL Cup away fixture at Cardiff City, Potter fielded a side of an average age of 20.5 years where his youthful squad advanced to round three after a 2–0 win.[70] In the first M23 derby of the season away at Crystal Palace on 27 September, Brighton were trailing through a Wilfried Zaha penalty until a 90+5th-minute equaliser from Neal Maupay who lobbed a shot over Vicente Guaita to claim a dramatic point.[71] Potter's 100th game as Brighton manager – and 400th overall – came on 20 November, a 2–0 away defeat at Aston Villa with Steven Gerrard making his Villa managerial debut.[72]

Managerial style[]

He's English, he's a modern coach, he has new ideas, he brings new ideas. [Swansea is] a team that takes care of how they move the ball... in their style, the goalkeeper and defenders build from the back. And for me it's the feature that you could underline from Swansea [under Potter].

—Argentinian coach Marcelo Bielsa on facing Potter's Swansea City team, 20 August 2018.[73]

Potter has been recognised for his "progressive" and "unconventional" coaching methods.[74][75] At Östersund, he encouraged his players and staff to engage in community activities, such as performing in theatre and music productions designed to take them out of their comfort zone.[75]

Potter describes his teams as "tactically flexible, attacking, [and] possession-based".[74] At Östersund, he deployed a flexible 3–5–2 formation centred on ball possession.[76][77] Former Celtic and Barcelona player Henrik Larsson commented on Potter's pattern of play, stating he "played all different kinds of systems, starting off a match one way, and then halfway through they started playing a different system, and then they ended up with a third system. And all the players knew exactly what they were doing."[78]

At Swansea, Potter used ten different formations and his team completed the most passes per 90 minutes in the Championship.[79]

As a young coach, Potter studied the training methods of Roberto Martínez at Swansea and became inspired by his possession-based approach, along with the "holistic" training principles he observed during his travels to Spain.[80] Potter also cites the philosophy of Pep Guardiola and Raymond Verheijen's periodisation model among his influences.[80]

BBC Sport published an article in October 2021 about Potter's rise as a manager and regarded him as a possible England manager in the making.[81]
