Chelsea Women's boss Emma Hayes has admitted her disappointment at seeing Graham Potter sacked, but insisted she fully backed the decision.
Potter's departure from Stamford Bridge was announced during the second-half of Hayes' side's win over Aston Villa Women on Sunday night. She had forged a close relationship with Potter since he replaced Thomas Tuchel as manager of the men's team.
The Englishman was even in attendance as Chelsea Women claimed a thrilling win over Lyon in the Women's Champions League last week. But he has now been fired having won just 12 games in all competitions since being appointed in September.
