Graham Potter is no longer in the running to become the next Leicester City manager.
The Midlands outfit are now on the hunt for a new manager after Leicester City sacked Steve Cooper on Sunday.
Cooper leaves the club in the midst of a relegation battle that sees them potentially just one defeat away from being sucked into the bottom three.

With games now set to come thick and fast as we head toward the festive period, the club cannot afford to waste any time in appointing a new manager.
Leicester want a Cooper replacement signed by Saturday for their meeting with Brentford, but that is going to be easier said than done.
One of the many names already tipped to make the move to the King Power Stadium is Graham Potter.
After Cooper’s dismissal, Leicester fans named the former Brighton boss as a standout candidate alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy.
However, Potter returning to management with the Foxes is now looking very unlikely at this stage.
Leicester City star Jordan Ayew and Graham Potter have unwanted history
We revealed an exclusive update on Monday evening via Graeme Bailey, who confirmed Potter is not ready to join Leicester.
While some Leicester fans may be upset that the Englishman will not be their new boss, one player is likely to be pleased.
The star in question is Foxes’ striker Jordan Ayew, who previously worked under Potter while the pair were on the books of Swansea City.
However, it is fair to say their time together did not go too well, with the now Leicester forward refusing to train under Potter in 2018, as per BBC Sport.
Ayew went on to join Crystal Palace that summer before making the switch to the King Power in the most recent transfer window for £8m, as per Leicestershire Live.
Who will Leicester City target instead of Graham Potter
Potter turning down Leicester is becoming something of a common occurrence, with this now the third time he has done so, according to the Daily Mail.
But the Foxes cannot linger on that unwanted fact and must instead focus their attention on other targets.
Leicester have once again been linked with Carlos Corberan of West Bromwich Albion, who was an option over the summer before his £4m compensation package killed that deal.
Elsewhere, a fresh Ruud van Nistelrooy update was provided on Monday, with the Dutchman still yet to respond to the club’s proposal.
