Brighton chief Paul Barber says there will be 'unprecedented interest' in the club's vacant managerial position.

Graham Potter was officially unveiled as the new manager of Chelsea on Thursday.

In a statement, Barber said: "I have no doubt there will be unprecedented interest in the job, not least because of the excellent work done by Graham but also because of the footballing infrastructure in place at our club.

"I am hugely disappointed to be losing our coaching team, particularly at this time, but I too would like to take this opportunity to thank Graham, Billy, Bjorn, Bruno, Ben and Kyle for their services and wish them well for the future. It has been a pleasure working with all of them."
