BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea Coach Graham Potter SACKED

Chelsea’s head coach, Graham Potter, has been fired. Potter has only been at Stamford Bridge for seven months; former Brighton defender Bruno has been named temporary head coach.

Chelsea takes on Liverpool on Tuesday, and the game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Potter was appointed on September 8 on a five-year contract, but he departed the club just seven months later, having won only seven of his 22 Premier League games in charge.

Potter’s departure comes after Chelsea’s 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa, which dropped the Blues to 11th in the Premier League standings, 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

Former Brighton defender Bruno has been named temporary head coach, and his first game will be a home game against Liverpool on Tuesday, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

In response to Potter’s dismissal, Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali issued a statement saying, “On behalf of everyone at the club, we want to thank Graham sincerely for his contribution to Chelsea.”

“We have the utmost respect for Graham as a coach and as a person.” He has always acted professionally and with integrity, and we are all disappointed with the result.

“We will all rally behind Bruno and the team as we focus on the rest of the season, along with our incredible fans.”
