Potter, 51, built a strong reputation during his term as Brighton and Hove Albion boss.
But he seemingly lost a lot of credit as a coach during his time managing in London.
Potter has returned to football and was at the World Cup in the summer with Sweden.
He has also taken up some self-care by starting Pilates classes and has shared pictures from one session on Instagram.

The comment has been spotted by many fans who have now reacted further on social media.
West Ham fans have even appreciated the dig saying it was “fair enough” and “probably right”.
Potter led the Seagulls to a record points tally at the time before being poached by the Blues in 2022.
Chelsea handed Potter a mega five-year contract but sacked him after just 31 games in charge.
During his tenure, there were so many transfers that players had to get changed in the corridors.
Even team meetings were affected as star players had to sit on the floor to fit in.
Potter then took some time out of the game but returned to the dugout in 2025 at West Ham.
He kept the club in the Premier League after taking over from Julen Lopetegui but was sacked just five games into the 2025/26 season.

While in charge of the Hammers, there was ongoing speculation over star man Lucas Paqueta.
The Brazilian was constantly linked with an exit as well as off- field issues with his gambling charges of which he has now been cleared of.
The Hammers replaced Potter with Nuno Espirito Santo and were still relegated to the Championship.
