Forget Potter – Boehly told to complete signing of proven top- level boss for Chelsea
Pundit Instead of Graham Potter, according to Jamie Carragher, Mauricio Pochettino should take over as Chelsea’s next manager.
However, Thomas Tuchel was allowed to depart Chelsea this week after the team had a dismal start to the new campaign, despite allegations that he had almost pleaded with Ted Boehly to stay.
This has given rise to shocking rumors that Brighton manager Gary Potter will take over the club’s management moving forward. Potter is apparently his route to London to speak with the Spurs hierarchy about a dream move to the Bridge.
Mauricio Pochettino, who is now without a club after failing to make an impression with French powerhouse PSG over the last several seasons, is another man who is rumored to be moving to Chelsea.
He said: “If you asked me, if I was a Chelsea supporter who I’d like to see manage my club, I’d go for Pochettino.
“It’s a very ruthless club and I’m not sure he [Potter] is the right fit.
“Maybe Chelsea are saying they want to do things differently in the future in terms of having a coach in charge rather than a manager or they do things behind the scenes differently.
“But if I was Graham Potter, I would find that very hard to believe that they’re going to do things differently.
“They’ve just got rid of a manager six games into the season. Of course, it’s a huge step up in his managerial career and Chelsea are still one of the top clubs.
“They are still world champions right now, but you fear for Graham Potter that he’ll be in the same boat as every other Chelsea manager has for the last 10 years, unless he gets results instantly they’ll be getting themselves another new manager in 12 months.”
