The Englishman only managed to spend seven months on the bench for the London team. Bruno Saltor will take over as interim coach.
It was time. The poor results obtained in the English league (they are 11th with ten games to play) put Graham Potter in a very delicate situation in London and even being in the quarter-finals of the Champions League did not manage to save him. Chelsea management announced their dismissal today.

The blue box was unable against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge and they were stuck in 11th place with 38 points and eleven units from European competitions . In the last five matches of the national championship, they have two wins, two losses and a draw.
In any case, the press release displayed a tone of total gratitude towards the management of the English coach, who arrived at Chelsea just seven months ago to replace Thomas Tuchel. Not least the detail that club owner Todd Boehly had to shell out $20million for Potter to leave Brighton mid-season.

He has always behaved with professionalism and integrity and we are all disappointed with this result. “, they expose in the text shared on their official channels.
But the blue bench will not remain without an owner, since in the same letter they announce that the Spaniard Bruno Saltor will take over as interim coach until the end of the season. “With our amazing fans, We will all be supporting Bruno and the team as we focus on the rest of the season.” they add about the now coach.
