Graham Potter is regarded as the leader to guide Chelsea back to glory.
While it is definitely seen from the outside as a risk to appoint Potter to one of Europe’s biggest clubs, the Chelsea hierarchy love that quality in their new manager. Chelsea owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali regard 47-year-old Potter as an over-achiever, a leader and a risk taker who is prepared to take gambles for big rewards.
Potter has worked his way up from being a journeyman player with West Brom, guiding Swedish minnows Ostersunds from obscurity to the Europa League and then exceeding all expectations at Swansea and, in particular, Brighton.
