Breaking News: Chelsea Part Ways with Head Coach Graham Potter
Potter was appointed as Thomas Tuchel's replacement on September 8 on a five-year deal, but has left the club just seven months into that contract, after winning only seven of his 22 Premier League games in charge.
In a surprising move, Chelsea Football Club has announced that they have sacked Graham Potter from his position as head coach.
The decision comes after a string of disappointing results for the team, including a recent loss to Manchester City. Potter had only been in the role for a short time, having joined the club in the summer of 2022, and many fans had high hopes for his leadership.

Potter was appointed as Thomas Tuchel's replacement on September 8 on a five-year deal, but has left the club just seven months into that contract, after winning only seven of his 22 Premier League games in charge.
The former Brighton manager was sacked in a meeting on Sunday at 2.45pm. Some senior figures at Chelsea wanted to remove Potter as manager back in January, as Sky Sports News reported at the time.
Potter's number two Billy Reid has also left the club. Assistant coach Bjorn Hamberg and goalkeeper coach Ben Roberts will remain and assist Bruno Saltor, who has been appointed as interim head coach.
Chelsea face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals later this month but Potter's departure follows Chelsea's 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Saturday night, a result which left the Blues 11th in the Premier League table, 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
