Potter appointed new Brighton manager
Brighton appoint Englishman Graham Potter as their new manager on a four-year deal as he leaves Swansea.

A lot of people said sacking Hughton was harsh but they'd had a massive drop off at the end of the season they ended up staying up by the skin of their teeth luckily they'd done just enough in the first half of the season to survive. It's harsh but I can see why the owners would make that call because it's actually shown as a trend now that teams who finish seasons badly and don't change managers generally start the next season badly.
Potter comes with a growing reputation from his time in Sweden and did a great job getting a really poor Swansea side that had been gutted following relegation safely into mid table.
Be interesting to see how he does because he's known for his sides playing this modern style.
