Graham Potter is taking on his former employees at the same time.
The fortunes of both clubs have changed since he moved. In the nine games Graham Potter has been at the helm of the club, they have won six and drawn three. Roberto De Zerbi is the head coach ofBrighton.
Graham Potter is said to be the most expensive manager of all time. Potter and his staff had to be paid 25 million dollars. The fee for Potter is slightly less than the one for Nagelsmann.
The fee is low because of Potter's effect on the city.
Potter's impact on both the Seagulls and the Blues is so great that it wouldn't fit on the same scale. Seagulls spent the same amount as they did for Potter when they signed Alireza Jahanbakhsh.
If a similar fee can be paid for almost any head coach a club wants, then spending the money on a head coach would be more beneficial. $20 million players who flop all the time are signed by clubs.
Dan Ashworth, the sporting director, and Graham Potter, the coach, were both poached by other teams. If their replacements don't work out, the cost toBrighton will be much more than the compensation they received.
The risk of any new head coach is that they won't be able to replicate Potter's results and if they do that, they will be in danger of being demoted.
If you invest $20 million in a head coach, you can turn a $10 million player into a $50 million player.
The club spent around fifteen million dollars on a new head coach. He led Sporting to their first league title in almost two decades, as well as the money the club got from playing in the European competition, along with the more than 100 million dollars they got in transfer fees this summer.
If a club feels that their head coach is one of their biggest assets, they should try to increase the length of their contracts.
It would cost the club money if they wanted to sack the head coach, but it would make them less likely to lose their head coach to a bigger club when things are going well.
