Graham Potter will only get one season as boss of Chelsea – fans told
Graham Potter will not be the manager of Chelsea for the start of the upcoming season, according to pundit Iomie Stanley.
Chelsea was sold to American owner Ted Boehly last summer, and the new manager made the controversial decision to fire Champions League winner Thomas Tuchel early in the season.
Tuchel had received a lot of criticism for the club’s early season failures as well as his theatrics on the sidelines, and as a result, he was let go by Boehly.
And the American took the huge choice to give Potter the opportunity to coach one of the largest teams in the world – and some of the top players in the Premier League.
He has been praised over the season for the work he has done with Brighton – the style of play – the hunger to get the best out of the squad and that is why Chelsea paid £16 million to secure his services.
But if you believe the words of Iomie Stanley – he will not be coaching Chelsea for the start of next season
He told icfootballnews: ‘Potter is a very good young manager that was working wonders at Brighton and we can see why he was brought to Chelsea’

‘However – Boehly is a man with big ambitions and knows that there was not a manager that could have taken over the club so soon at the beginning of the season – they are all taken or on sabbatical’
‘Potter was the easy move as he was ready to leave Brighton for a big move and the Premier League side were ready to take some serious cash for their talented boss.
‘But to take Chelsea to that next level – to get the side in the Champions League on a yearly basis – win trophies and challenge for the Premier League title – Potter is not the man.
‘He hasnt dont it in the past and does not have the ability to manage some top-level players that have only played for the best – we have already seen that he is struggling to get the best out of his stars – they are not hungry enough.
‘This is a huge chance for the man, and he must be relishing it – but Chelsea will not return to the top four with the way they are playing – they will struggle to add another trophy to that cabinet – and that is why Potter will be fired in the summer.
‘Boehly undoubtedly already has a manager in mind who he would like to hire, but he needs to wait until the conclusion of the season to do so.’
