BREAKING: Graham Potter appointed Chelsea coach
Chelsea on Thursday announced Graham Potter as their new manager.
In an official statement released on Thursday afternoon, the Blues noted that the former Brighton boss has signed a five-year contract.
The statement from the club on Thursday read, “Potter is one of the most exciting coaches in the game, starting his journey in Sweden before bringing his talents to the English game over the past four seasons. The 47-year-old is educated to degree level in disciplines beyond sport and has combined these experiences to forge a collaborative, forward-thinking approach while developing attacking and winning football.”
Potter replaces Thomas Tuchel who was sacked just yesterday by Blues co-owner, Todd Boehly.
On making the move to Chelsea, Potter said: “I am incredibly proud and excited to represent Chelsea FC, this fantastic football club.
“I am very excited to partner with Chelsea’s new ownership group and look forward to meeting and working with the exciting group of players and developing a team and culture that our amazing fans can be proud of.
“I would also like to place my sincere thanks to Brighton & Hove Albion for allowing me this opportunity and in particular Tony Bloom and all the players, staff and supporters for their continued support during my time at the club.”
