Graham Potter has already hailed the role that Jose Mourinho has played in his coaching career after being confirmed as Chelsea’s new manager.
The Englishman was announced as Thomas Tuchel's successor at Stamford Bridge on Thursday afternoon after former club Brighton gave the Blues permission to discuss terms. Potter has become the first manager to be appointed by Todd Boehly after the American made the shock decision to relieve Tuchel of his duties.
Whilst he has earned plaudits for his fantastic work with Ostersunds, Swansea and, of course, Brighton, Potter has hailed Jose Mourinho for playing a crucial role in his development. The 47-year-old observed the Portuguese’s work at close quarters whilst he was the manager of Real Madrid.
