Kai Havertz admitted that Graham Potter ’s sacking was “frustrating” in what appears to be a clear message to the Chelsea board.
The former Brighton head coach was sacked by the Blues on Sunday after just six months in charge at Stamford Bridge. Having originally put pen to paper on a five-year deal, he became the second managerial casualty of the Todd Boehly era.
Potter, 47, had struggled during his stint in West London after winning just 12 of his 31 matches in charge in all competitions - a run of form that has seen the Blues fall out of contention for a place in the Champions League. Whilst it may prove to be the correct decision to jettison Potter, it appears that he still had support within the dressing room at Chelsea.
