Kalidou Koulibaly has given his verdict on Graham Potter's dismissal as Chelsea boss. The 47-year-old was sacked on Sunday evening following the Blues' defeat to Aston Villa – Bruno Saltor, who followed Potter from Brighton as one of his assistants, has temporarily taken the reins in his absence.
While numerous players have posted messages on social media to honour their former manager, many of his former colleagues are yet to break their silence on the matter. Speaking to Sky Sports, Koulibaly stepped up to the plate and insisted that the west London outfit will persevere through adversity.
"Yes it’s a difficult moment for us," the former Napoli defender said. "We knew today, one day ago, that Graham Potter is not with us anymore but we have to keep on concentrating, we have a tough game tonight in the Bridge. We want to show a nice face of Chelsea and we’re going to give everything on the pitch."
