Chelsea have sacked Graham Potter after a miserable spell in charge. The
Potter, 47, left Brighton to take the reins at Stamford Bridge last September following the departure of Champions League-winning manager Thomas Tuchel.
The club have confimed that Bruno Saltor will take charge of the team as Interim Head Coach.
Co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali gave a statement on the club’s website: “On behalf of everyone at the club, we want to thank Graham sincerely for his contribution to Chelsea.
“We have the highest degree of respect for Graham as a coach and as a person. He has always conducted himself with professionalism and integrity and we are all disappointed in this outcome.
“Along with our incredible fans, we will all be getting behind Bruno and the team as we focus on the rest of the season. We have 10 Premier League games remaining and a Champions League quarter final ahead.
“We will put every effort and commitment into every one of those games so that we can end the season on a high.”
Yet the former Seagulls boss failed to get the best from the star-studded squad he inherited, with a flood of January signings seemingly adding to his problems.
Potter, who was hampered by injuries to the likes of N’Golo Kante and Reece James, continued to chop and change his starting line-up as he attempted to find his best XI and impose his philosophy.
But [INSERT RELEVANT DETAILS] proved to be the final straw for Todd Boehly and Co.
