Chelsea star Kalidou Koulibaly has leapt to the defence of under-fire boss Graham Potter by claiming that he is a “great manager”.
The former Brighton manager has endured a woeful opening few months as Blues boss since being appointed as Thomas Tuchel’s successor. He is already facing calls to be sacked amid a run of just three wins in 18 matches in all competitions ahead of this weekend’s showdown with Leeds.
As it stands, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy appear unlikely to take drastic action over Potter’s position and are continuing to stick by their man. Koulibaly, meanwhile, has hailed his manager by praising his communication skills, whilst the Senegalese has also been left impressed with Potter’s approach to his expensively put-together squad.
