Steven Gerrard has described Graham Potter's appointment at Chelsea as a "big moment" for British managers.
Potter and Gerrard are two of the seven British (permanent) managers currently employed by a Premier League club. Eddie Howe of Newcastle United, Frank Lampard of Everton, David Moyes of West Ham United, Steve Cooper of Nottingham Forest and Brendan Rodgers of Leicester City complete the list. Only four of them – Gerrard, Potter, Lampard and Howe – are English.
Gerrard, whose Aston Villa side host Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, has now been speaking about how impressed he's been with Potter following his appointment last month. However, the former Liverpool captain also warned Potter about the different pressure of managing Chelsea in comparison to his old club Brighton & Hove Albion.
