Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot has claimed the club should be making a change in the managerial dugout. Despite admitting to feeling sorry for head coach Graham Potter, Melchiot believes Todd Boehly should be looking for a new manager following an extended spell of poor form for his old club.
The 46-year-old, who played at Stamford Bridge 130 times between 1999 and 2004, insisted the current manager would not have survived during his time at the club. “In my time, Potter would not last — that’s all I can say,” Melchiot told ESPN FC.
“I feel sorry for him. I know everybody’s talking about the great manager he is, but with results like these, I have to be sorry and make a change.”
