Brighton & Hove Albion’s former head coach, Graham Potter has been officially appointed the Chelsea’s coach.
This was contained in a statement by the club on Thursday.
Potter’s appointment follows the sacking of Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday, following the club’s 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday’s Champions League encounter.
The statement reads;
“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.”
The chairman of Chelsea, Odd Boehly, said:
“We are thrilled to bring Graham to Chelsea. He is a proven coach and an innovator in the Premier League who fits our vision for the Club.
Not only is he extremely talented on the pitch, he has skills and capabilities that extend beyond the pitch which will make Chelsea a more successful Club. He has had a major impact at his previous Clubs and we look forward to his positive impact at Chelsea.
“We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years.”
