Pep Guardiola tells Todd Boehly what Chelsea must do with Graham Potter after heavy defeat

Pep Guardiola has called for Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly to hand head coach Graham Potter more time in his role after his side were beaten for the second time in three days to Manchester City.

Two goals from Riyad Mahrez and one each from Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden ensured City of their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Chelsea were poor on the day at the Etihad Stadium and it led to some chants from the away end about former head-coach and ex-owner Thomas Tuchel and Roman Abramovich, respectively.

However, despite the pressure on Potter, his opposite number Guardiola believes he needs more time in his role. He mentioned about how every manager needs more than one season, other than the time he was at Barcelona and he had the privilege of working with the great Lionel Messi.
