Chris Wilder has been tipped to bounce back quickly after his exit from Sheffield United.

The former Albion defender's departure from the rock-bottom Blades, by mutual consent, has now been confirmed.

But Seagulls counterpart Graham Potter does not expect him to be out of a job for long.

Potter said: “He was the first manager I came across on my return to the UK in a competitive game.

“My first game at Swansea was at Bramall Lane.

“I got a sense of Chris then – a very competitive guy, but a really good guy as well.

“He’s a good football person and honest.

“The job he has done there speaks for itself, it’s incredible.

“A legend at the club, he has done amazingly there. He won’t be out of work for long.”

Former Bournemouth boss and assistant Jason Tindall is being linked with a head coach role at United.

Albion’s visit to Bramall Lane is currently listed for April 24.
