Chelsea have officially announced Graham Potter as the new head coach, having triggered his release clause from Brighton on Thursday. It comes as the Blues moved quickly to replace Thomas Tuchel, who was dismissed from his role just one day prior to the appointment.
The change in head coach comes from new ownership Clearlake-Boehly, who decided that a change in direction was needed to meet their goals. Tuchel had got off to a difficult start to the season, having lost to the likes of Southampton and Leeds as well as falling to defeat at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb in his final game in charge.
The German coach was deflated after, saying: "I'm angry at myself, I'm angry about our performance, this is a huge underpeformance from all of us. It's not precise enough, it's not clinical enough, it's not aggressive enough on the ball, it's not determined enough, it's not good enough individually, it's not good enough as a team."
