Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists Chelsea remain a "top, top side" under Graham Potter and has backed the Blues' head coach to achieve success at Stamford Bridge.
Potter took charge of Chelsea in September after Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali made the unpopular and somewhat seismic decision to dismiss Thomas Tuchel, who guided the club to the 2021 Champions League. It was not a call made in haste nor one solely made on the tactical acumen of the German, who was beyond doubt.
It came after the relationship between Tuchel and the new ownership group broke down over the summer transfer window. It was felt Potter was a better fit for the more communicative and collaborative approach that is being implemented across the club by Boehly and his business partners.
