Patrick Vieira believes Graham Potter has earned the chance to manage Chelsea after doing “fantastically well” with Brighton and Hove Albion.
Vieira’s Crystal Palace side will be Potter’s first opponents in the Premier League as the Blues boss. The 47-year-old was brought in to succeed Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge after the German was sacked following a poor start to the season.
At Brighton, Potter guided the club to a record ninth-placed finish in the Premier League last term and excelled at the start of the 2022/23 season. Albion managed four wins in six games and sit fourth in the table at the time Potter departed the club.
