Nobody mourns Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, not even a little bit after he became the manager who gave them their last Champions League.
One day after the announcement of the dismissal of the German, the board, which had so many disagreements with him, got down to work to guarantee a top-level successor, literally at whatever price.
The chosen one, according to various British media, is Graham Potter, current manager of Bighton. “Agreements are being finalized between all parties and, if all goes according to plan, he is expected to sign a contract with the Stamford Bridge club tonight. Potter will visit the Cobham training ground. He is saying goodbye in Brighton ahead of the move,” The Athletic announced.
Potter began his career managing the Ghana women’s team in 2007 and in a ten-year career he went through Swedish football, with Swansea City and, in the last three seasons, with Brighton, who were ninth in the last Premier League. At 47 years old she is ready for her first big in England.
The issue is how much it will cost, since it is a coach with a current contract. Of course, for Chelsea it is not a problem because he would pay the nearly 20 million euros of the clause without breaking a sweat. It is said that he has already met this Wednesday with the board and that he could make his debut against Fulham on Saturday.
