Chelsea sack Graham Potter ahead of Real Madrid clash

Chelsea have opted to sack Graham Potter just over six months after bringing him into the club.

The Blues moved quickly to replace Thomas Tuchel with Potter, as the ambitious coach departed Brighton & Hove Albion, as part of a new challenge.

Despite following Tuchel’s policy of spending big, with Chelsea setting new transfer records for both summer and winter transfer windows, the project has stumbled at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea face a huge battle to secure a top four spot in the Premier League this season, on the back of losing against Aston Villa, Potter has been removed from his role.

Alongside a demanding end to the Premier League campaign, Chelsea face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter finals this month, for a third successive knockout stage campaign.

Bruno Saltor will take interim charge of the first team, with the former Valencia defender potentially set to lead them against Real Madrid.

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann is the current from runner to replace Potter despite interest in the German coach from Tottenham and Real Madrid.

  1. Ancelloti is the very next coach to be sacked despite Real Madrid winning real Valladolid 6 -0.
    This is certain.

    1. Nope.
      He won us 2 trophies already and total 5 in 1,5 season.
      Win CDR (which is highly possible) and its 3 this season, while were still in game for CL.
      You dont fire a coach for winning 6 trophies in two years.

        1. Rm 14 cl trophies.
          Epl contingent 13 trophies combined.

          Think about that little Epl troll with many accounts and cope and seethe.

  2. Chelsea should hire julian naglesmann ASAP just like how bayern did to bring tuchel cos i don’t trust that interim to deliver the job for them.

    I personally want chelsea to eliminate madrid and that will be possible with the help of naglesmann then bayern to eliminate man city to set up a “revenge”semi-final for naglesmann and tuchel (Chelsea Vs Bayern).

    1. Real Madrid 14
      Liverpool FC 6
      Manchester United FC 3
      Nottingham Forest FC 2
      Chelsea FC 2
      Manchester City 0 LoL
