Chelsea accused of "disrespect" to women's team for timing of Graham Potter sacking

Chelsea have been accused of disrespecting their women's team by announcing their decision to sack Graham Potter during their win over Aston Villa Women.

The Blues travelled to the Bescot Stadium for a Women's Super League clash on Sunday evening. But during the second-half of the game, the Blues announced that men's boss Potter would be leaving his role with immediate effect.

Potter only took charge in September, replacing Thomas Tuchel after the German was himself sacked by the Blues. But his reign at Stamford Bridge is at an end, with Chelsea announcing his exit at 8.02pm on Sunday evening.
