Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has delivered an honest verdict on Chelsea's decision to sack Graham Potter on Sunday evening. The Blues dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League table following their 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa at the weekend.
Potter spent just six months in charge before being dismissed from his role as manager following huge pressure from fans due to poor performances. The former Brighton boss replaced Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge in September allowing De Zerbi to take charge of the Seagulls.
Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite to replace the now-departed Potter, football.london understands. Bruno Saltor has become interim manager for the time being whilst Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali search for potential replacements, with the club said to be hoping to start interviews over the vacant managerial position this week.
