The dismissal of Graham Potter It didn’t come cheap Chelsea. Of the 21 million pounds (23 million euros) that the English club has to pay to Brighton to release potter from the south coast of Englandwe must add the settlement the coach will receive for the remaining four and a half years of his contract.
because potter signed for five seasons, an important step in void for Chelsea in a world, of coaches, where three seasons are usually signed as a regular contract, with special cases such as Anthony Contewho because of his personality, only agreed to be in a year and a half Tottenham Hotspur. A wise decision, as time has shown.
However, the new American owners of Chelsea decided to kill the season Thomas Tuchel and give confidence to pottera technician who came from good work at Brighton, producing colorful football that produced results, as the ‘Seagulls’ had their best elite seasons with him. In addition, one of the solihull vitola had a favorite to succeed Gareth Southgate was in charge of the English team when he decided to steer clear of the ‘Three Lions’. His resume is clean and the Chelsea to persuade him, he put a contract of 12 million pounds on the table. irresistible.
But things did not go as potter expected and in the last 19 games in the Premier League they have achieved only four victories. The lack of a preseason and a million dollar investment, yes, but the owners imposed more than their demands helped to destroy a relationship that had been shaky for months and only maintained by the return against the Borussia Dortmund. That victory, along with the prospect of an exciting quarter-final match real Madridis enough argument to think that potter I still have a reel.
Until he was condemned by both parties. One, the 2-2 against Everton, cooked in the last minute, when an error in a chain of Enzo Fernandez and Kalidou Kolibaly led to the tie for the ‘Toffees’; the second, the defeat against Aston Villa this Saturday, with some ‘Blues’ lost in defense and at the mercy of a team that sent them to the lower middle of the table. Unacceptable for a Chelsea armed to fight for the title.
For this reason, throughout Sunday, the dome of Chelsea she made the decision to fire Potter and he accepted it, knowing that the relationship didn’t work out anytime soon. “Graham has agreed to contribute to a smooth transition”, prays the statement from the London team, which is now exploring new options for its bench.
For now, it will be Spanish Bruno Saltor who sat on the bench this Tuesday against him Liverpool. What is not known is whether it will continue from there, with the tie against Real Madrid on the horizon (April 12 and 18).
The unexpected departure of Potr could be an attempt by Chelsea to get ahead of other teams, such as Tottenham Hotspur, in the search for Julian Nagelsmann, one of the most important managers on the market. German has been free since Bayern Munich he was sacked two weeks ago and alongside Mauricio Pochettino he leads the race to take over the Stamford Bridge bench permanently.
