Graham Potter is set to appear on Monday Night Football on Sky Sports
Potter joined the Blues in September 2022 under American owner Todd Boehly.
Despite significant support including the arrival of nine new players costing more than £300m, Potter’s tenure has been challenging with just 12 wins in 31 matches.
Since his departure in April, the 49-year-old has been preparing for a return to football management.
He turned down the Ajax job in May and withdrew from the race to become Leicester City manager in the summer.
He has also been linked with jobs at Manchester United and England.
Potter has kept out of the public eye but is now set to appear as a pundit on Sky Sports.
He will be in the studio for Monday Night Football, analyzing the weekend’s games including the game between his former clubs Chelsea and Brighton.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Potter reflected on his difficult time at Chelsea, taking responsibility for the results and acknowledging the learning experience.

He described the period as a “grieving process” and did not want to blame anyone for the situation.
Potter, originally from Solihull, spoke of the humiliation of his high-profile sacking after just seven months into a five-year deal.

He added that leaving Brighton, where he was so successful, was a significant decision, but he does not regret the opportunity at Chelsea even though it did not work out.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Potter met Man Utd sporting director Dan Ashworth earlier this year with a view to replacing Erik ten Hag.
But the football operation at Old Trafford have decided to stick with their Dutchman – even though he is under pressure again.
United have endured a miserable start to the season, with seven points from six Premier League games.
And Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat at home could be another sign that further changes are needed.
