Another defeat for Chelsea has seen the pressure increase on manager Graham Potter, but the former Brighton boss may want to look to others who have come back from seemingly desperate situations to thrive in the dugout.
The Blues were beaten by Spurs in north London on Sunday, with Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane on target. It leaves Potter's team down in 10th place in the Premier League table, 14 points adrift of the Champions League places and seemingly with next to no chance of a top four finish.
Things might look bleak for the 47-year-old right now, with two potentially pivotal games on the way, but there have been signs from the higher-ups that he is being given time to turn things around. While that can sometimes mean little more than a stay of execution, there are plenty of examples of managers finding a second wind and even winning silverware not long after things looked bleak.
