Graham Potter has spoken of how proud he is to take on the role of Chelsea's head coach and described himself as a partner of the Blues' ownership group. The former Brighton boss was announced as the club's new coach on Thursday afternoon and signed a five-year deal.
The 47-year-old leaves Brighton having earned a stellar reputation with the Seagulls following stints with Swansea City and Ostersunds. Potter helped the south coast side to their best ever finish last term as they finished ninth in the Premier League.
However, Potter now arrives at Chelsea with the challenge of finishing in the top four and competing in the Champions League and appears to relish the opportunity. The coach also highlighted his desire to help develop a culture for an exciting group of players.
