Thomas Tuchel will be replaced as Chelsea manager by Graham Potter, who has reached a five-year agreement according to credible sources.
After deciding to fire their first manager 100 days into the new ownership, Chelsea moved swiftly to replace the German.
Opening discussions between Potter and Stamford Bridge executives took place on Wednesday(September 6), only hours after Champions League-winning boss Tuchel was fired.
On Wednesday night, Potter decided to accept the position after having fruitful conversations with co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
(I am beyond honored and thrilled to represent Chelsea FC, this magnificent football club,) he declared.
(I’d also like to express my gratitude to Brighton & Hove Albion for giving me this chance, and in particular to Tony Bloom and all the players, staff, and fans for their unwavering support throughout my time at the team) Graham added.
(We are delighted to bring Graham to Chelsea,) Boehly continued.
(He matches our goal for the Club since he is an innovative coach with Premier League experience. He is not only incredibly skilled on the field, but he also possesses qualities and abilities that can help Chelsea become a more prosperous club), the owners added.
