Chelsea have sacked Graham Potter
Chelsea are now looking for our third manager of the season as they sacked coach Graham Potter who arrived stamford bridge just 6 months ago.
Potter had enjoyed unprecedented support from the ownership group, but as it turns out, even they had a breaking point. Potter’s assistant, Bruno Saltor will take interim charge.
Chelsea pride stems from making history rather than reliving it, and Potter certainly left his mark on the record books during his six months at the club. Unfortunately, most of those are at the wrong end of the ledger.
Potter leaves with the second worst record of any Chelsea manager in the Premier League era (40% win percentage overall, barely 30% in the league). This weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa at home, the final straw, was his 8th defeat in 22 Premier League games. At one point, the Blues had gone without a win in six straight (longest in a decade) and an absolutely futile sequence from November to March saw us win just twice (2) from fifteen (15!) games — the worst run for three decades.
Chelsea are as close to the top-three as we are to the bottom three at the moment. But they only need two (2) more points (10 games left) to ensure survival. Woo!
Good luck to us all (still alive in the Champions League!), and good luck to Graham Potter wherever his journey may take him next.
