Graham Potter has been hired as Chelsea manager after choosing to leave fellow Premier League team Brighton. Potter replaces Thomas Tuchel. The German was fired on Wednesday after an apparent breakdown in his relationship with Chelsea’s new ownership. The 47-year-old Potter has signed a five-year contract. His appointment might be regarded as a gamble by Chelsea because of Potter’s lack experience coaching at soccer’s highest level. Potter has won only one trophy as a coach. That was the Swedish Cup in 2017 during his time in charge of Ostersund from 2011-18. He also coached Swansea before Brighton.
