Potter, 49, hinted at a return to management this week while on punditry duty for Prime Video.

Asked if he was "looking at things", Potter replied: "Yeah, of course. As I've said before, you're open to everything.

"It's a different lens, that can only make you better once you understand that as well, so I've enjoyed that."
