Graham Potter’s disastrous reign at Chelsea is over.
The manager who left the Seagulls in September last year and was heralded as a long-term replacement for Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge was sacked after losing at home to Aston Villa yesterday (Saturday 1 April).
Potter took the Albion to the club’s highest ever league placing – ninth – last season.
And he oversaw spending of £323 million in the January transfer window but Chelsea are languishing in 11th place in the Premier League, five places below the Albion.
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom may consider putting Roberto De Zerbi under house arrest.
Former Albion captain Bruno Saltor becomes caretaker manager at Stamford Bridge.
He faces the challenge of a home league match against Liverpool and the pending Champions League quarter-final against reigning champs Real Madrid.
Hardly surprising….
Graham did well for us but I never liked his style of football though a lot of people said he would be England manager, I doubted that but I hoped he would prove me long, but his style was never going to sit well with Chelsea.
Same old GP formations and excuses.
