Graham Potter has reportedly rejected Leicester City after the Foxes approached him to take over at the King Power Stadium.
It has been a whirlwind few days in the Premier League, with at least three coaches sacked since after the international break. Antonio Conte left his post at Tottenham before action returned this weekend, while Potter and Brendan Rodgers were relieved of their duties at Chelsea and Leicester, respectively.

However, Potter has already been offered a job less than 48 hours after his exit was confirmed at Stamford Bridge. According to talkSPORT, Leicester approached the former Brighton coach to take over the vacant seat at the King Power Stadium, but he turned down the offer because he wants to take a break from football.
Potter’s Chelsea sacking is the 13th managerial departure in the Premier League this season–three more in-season departures than in any previous campaign.
For now, both clubs are managed by their assistant coaches until they can find permanent replacements. Chelsea have been linked to former Bayern coach Julain Nagelsmann, while Leicester are yet to decide who they want to hire.
The Blues will return to action on Tuesday with a visit from struggling Liverpool, while Leicester City will play Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday.
