Whatever the stage, Graham Potter has always risen to the occasion.
In taking charge of Chelsea, the 47-year-old will get his first experience of the pressures of working at one of Europe’s elite clubs and managing in the Champions League.
But performing outside of his comfort zone is nothing new for Potter.
While boss of Swedish side Ostersunds, the Englishman and his players would embark on a different cultural project each season, culminating in an end-of-year show. They put on a play, staged rock and rap concerts and, most memorably, performed their own version of ballet Swan Lake.
