Graham Potter Has 3 Games To Save Chelsea Career

Chelsea head coach Graham Potter has just three matches to save his job amid calls for his sack, according to reports.

The west London club is currently in the 10th position on the Premier League log with 31 points from 24 games, and Graham Potter has won just one of his last ten games in all competitions. Chelsea is winless in their last five games and have won only two of their last 15 games.

After Chelsea’s latest Premier League outing where they suffered a devastating 1-0 loss to bottom-placed team Southampton, #Sack Potter began trending on Twitter, with Chelsea legend Frank Lebeouf urging the club’s co-owner Todd Boehly to consider appointing former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane to succeed Potter should the club decide to part ways with the Englishman.

The next three games for Chelsea will play a vital role in deciding Potter’s future at the club, Boehly having already spent a huge amount of money to reinforce the club’s squad during the January transfer window.

The club will face Tottenham Hotspur on February 26, Leeds United on March 4, and Borussia Dortmund on March 7.

The head coach will have to lead Chelsea to get a good result when they face Tottenham in an away London Premier League derby on Sunday, when they host Leeds United in a Premier League tie next month at Stamford Bridge and Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 second-leg tie at home.

Graham Potter has said that he would accept Chelsea’s decision if they decide to sack him. However, reports suggest that he will have to avoid defeats in the three upcoming games and at least get two wins and a draw to save his job at Chelsea.

While he is considered a great coach after his impressive record during his time at Brighton, Potter may not be the ‘winner’ Chelsea needs at the moment to spearhead Boehly’s long-term vision, as Chelsea is a club that should be competing for every single trophy possible but that is not happening so far this season.
