This week, Graham Potter, appointed as the new coach of the West Ham team, had good opportunities to return to his usual job much earlier.

As reported by Telegraph journalist Matt Law, during the 20-month period since his dismissal from the London Chelsea club, the Englishman was offered contracts from more than 10 clubs and four national teams.

However, the specialist waited for the best offer and dedicated a significant amount of time to other activities.

During this time, G. Potter gained experience from England's rugby team coach Steve Borthwick, attended various sports events, some of which took place in the USA.

In addition, the coach started learning Spanish, engaged in intensive training, and attended a Taylor Swift concert at Wembley Arena.
