London “Chelsea” rewrites the history of world football with the transfer amount of the new coach

It has already been reported that after Tuesday’s loss in the away match of the first round of the UEFA Champions League group tournament against Dinamo Zagreb, the German coach Thomas Tuchel, who worked at the club for less than two years, was dismissed on Wednesday.

English-born Potter was chosen as his successor.

“The Times” reports that the deal with Potter’s previous club Brighton & Havre “Albion”, with which he signed a four-year contract in 2019, cost “Chelsea” 25.3 million euros, which is a world record for coach transfers.

20 million pounds (23 million euros) were paid for Potter, and another two million pounds (2.3 million euros) for his five assistants in the coaching staff who went with him.

The Times reports that the Brighton & Hove outfit wanted to keep the coach in their squad. That is why the transfer amounts are so large.

Potter started his coaching career in Sweden, coaching “Ostersund” from 2011 to 2018, then he worked in the English second league club Swansea “City”, and in 2019 he took over the Premier League club Brighton & Havre “Albion”.

The 47-year-old coach, who is known for his innovative approach to the training process, helped the Brighton & Hove club to occupy the highest place in the Premier League in the previous season – ninth.
