Chelsea sacked head coach Graham Potter on Sunday after less than seven months in charge. Chelsea fell into the bottom half of the Premier League following Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, Potter’s 11th defeat in 31 games since replacing Thomas Tuchel in September.
Bruno Saltor has been named interim head coach after leaving Brighton with Potter to join Chelsea. Chelsea’s ownership group was eager to back Potter after naming him to succeed Champions League-winning coach Thomas Tuchel, but they were forced to back down.
After a sluggish start to his reign in west London, Potter was expected to show some signs of progress, but it became impossible to ignore regression on the pitch and the fact that faith was eroding among those in the stands.
Potter had been under pressure for some time because results had been poor despite the new owners spending more than £550 million on new players since taking over the club last May. Just two months ago, they broke the British transfer record by signing midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £106.8 million.
He leaves having won just seven of his 22 league games and having a win rate of 39% overall, the lowest of any permanent Chelsea manager this century.
