Graham Potter 'reassured' over Chelsea manager position following meeting with Behdad Eghbali

Chelsea manager Graham Potter used the World Cup break to work with his squad and meet with Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali. The Blues are underperforming this season and resume Premier League action against Bournemouth on Tuesday, currently sat eighth in the table.

Chelsea's last game before all club action was put on hold came in the form of a 1-0 defeat away at St. James' Park against a Newcastle side that are currently fighting amongst the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham at the top of the table. Potter's time at Stamford Bridge started strong but the Blues' form before the World Cup break raised serious concerns amongst supporters.

Under the previous regime of Roman Abramovich, there is every chance Potter would already be fighting for his job just three months in. New owners Boehly and Eghbali seem more willing to give the manager more time to settle into the role as they look to implement a new culture at Chelsea.
