Graham Potter tipped for huge future managerial job despite Chelsea pressure and sacking calls

Former Arsenal star Ray Parlour has tipped Chelsea boss Graham Potter to become a future England men's national team manager, despite recent struggles at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have managed just two wins in their last 15 Premier League games, building pressure on the head coach.

The west London outfit sit in 10th as a result of their poor form, knocked out of both domestic competitions and 1-0 down after the first leg of their round of 16 clash against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Potter firmly believes that he and his side can bounce back and avoid the calls for him to be replaced, however.

"I've spoken to them [the board] and it's the same as it's always been," Potter told the media ahead of Chelsea's clash with Tottenham. "There has always been support. I've been under pressure here for four months from you guys. Have you spoken to the owners? Do you have their support? That continues and they've been great, brilliant. They also see where we're at but at the same time are frustrated because the results are what they are and we have to do better."
