Graham Potter 's unveiling as the new manager of Chelsea has been cancelled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The 46-year-old was due to be presented before the media on Friday ahead of the Blues' Premier League clash with Fulham which has officially been postponed. Potter's first public appearance since his appointment as Chelsea boss on Thursday will now have to wait, as the club pay their respects to the nation's longest-serving monarch, who has died aged 96 later.
"As the nation enters a period of mourning following the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, we do not feel it is appropriate to proceed with media scheduled for today," a statement read. "We have therefore made the decision to cancel this press conference. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, particularly to those who may have already started travelling to the training ground.
