The south coast club sacked Chris Hughton after their Premier League season came to an end and they just avoided relegation. After holding talks over the weekend, Potter has now taken his Premier League chance and been confirmed as the new Seagulls manager. He now faces the task of rebuilding their side after they won just three of their last 23 Premier League games, finishing 17th in the table. "Graham expressed a desire to challenge himself in the Premier League and we reluctantly allowed him to speak to Brighton after agreeing a compensation package," said Birch. Brighton will now be hoping he can help them climb up the table following a miserable end to last season.
