Graham Potter is hoping to quickly instil a culture Chelsea supporters can be proud of after being named the club’s new head coach.
The Blues have moved swiftly after announcing the departure of Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday, with Potter confirmed less than 36 hours later. Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly identified the former Brighton and Hove Albion boss as the outstanding candidate thanks to his track record of being “a proven innovator in the Premier League.”
Potter met with Stamford Bridge chiefs on Wednesday evening, before thrashing out the final details on his five-year contract shortly after that. “I am incredibly proud and excited to represent Chelsea FC, this fantastic football club,” a statement released on Chelsea’s official site reads.
