They shook hands and he said yes – Potter agrees to take over Chelsea

If any Chelsea fan out there thought that the ‘circus’ around his club and the new owner Todd Boehly will ease a bit after the closure of the transfer window, he was about to be even more shocked. Just six days after the transfer period ended, the American bussinessman decided to part ways with coach Thomas Tuchel. And after the initial shock, the Blues fans were left stunned again – according to every relevant report from England, Brighton boss Graham Potter will become the next Chelsea manager.Graham Potter has now left the Brighton training ground. ⏳He spent two hours inside saying goodbye to the players and staff. 🔵⚪️ pic.twitter.com/rs7AjTluqo— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) September 8, 2022 It’s certain that the fans hoped for the bigger name like Zinedine Zidan or Mauricio Pochettino, but the American didn’t even think about those names, he went straight to his No.1 target. Brighton have given him permission to talk to Chelsea (the release clause is around 15 million euros) and he went straight to London yesterday afternoon. The deal was struck and he is today back in Brighton, where he will probably say goodbye to the players and the club staff, since Boehly wants him in the doguout against Fulham on Saturday.How good is Graham Potter?I love how Brighton play and he has to be one of the best young managers around. Ticks every box for me. pic.twitter.com/1CNL90lyFW— John Terry (@JohnTerry26) August 23, 2022 The former Swansea City manager has done a tremendous job with the Seagulls, especially over the past year. He guided Brighton to a top-half finish last term; their best-ever finish in the Premier League. Many pundits and former Chelsea players around the league are pleased with this future appointment, as his work is highly rated, but Jamie Carragher had one very interesting warning for the young manager.After 8 new players, Chelsea need a new coach: Tuchel is sacked!„If I was Graham Potter, I would find that very hard to believe that they’re going to do things differently. They’ve just got rid of a manager six games into the season. It’s a huge step up in his managerial career and Chelsea are still one of the top clubs. They are still world champions right now, but you fear for Graham Potter that he’ll be in the same boat as every other Chelsea manager has for the last 10 years – unless he gets results instantly they’ll be getting themselves another new manager in 12 months”.##NAJAVA_MECA_6624361##
