Chelsea to still retain Graham Potter’s services despite sack

English Premier League (EPL) club Chelsea has revealed that recently sacked manager Graham Potter has agreed to work with the club to facilitate a smooth transition to a new manager. The decision comes after the Blues suffered a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa, leaving them in 11th place in the table.

Following Potter’s dismissal on Sunday, the club announced that Bruno Saltor would take charge of the team as interim head coach for their upcoming game against Liverpool on Tuesday night. However, the statement also hinted that Potter could play a role in selecting his permanent successor.

According to the club’s statement, “Graham has agreed to collaborate with the club to facilitate a smooth transition. In his time with the club, Graham has taken us to the quarter-final of the Champions League, where we will face Real Madrid.”

Potter’s departure from the club has come as a surprise to many, as he has only been in charge of Chelsea for one season. During his time at the club, he led them to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where they are set to face Real Madrid.

The news of Potter’s departure has also raised questions about the future direction of the club, with some fans and pundits suggesting that a major overhaul of the squad may be needed to return to winning ways.

Despite the uncertainty, Chelsea fans will be hoping that the club can bounce back quickly and secure a top-four finish in the EPL this season. With Potter’s help, the Blues will be hoping to find a new manager who can lead them to future success.
