Chelsea board will not waver from Potter commitment

 


Graham Potter retains the support of Chelsea's board despite Sunday's 4-0 FA Cup defeat by Manchester City.

The former Brighton boss has been under pressure after a run of six losses in nine games in all competitions, with Chelsea exiting both domestic cups and slipping to 10th in the Premier League

Fans sung the name of former boss Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked in September, during Sunday's game.

But Chelsea see Potter, who replaced Tuchel, as a long-term appointment.

There is belief he can turn around the club's form, which has not been helped by a long list of injuries.

The club want to adopt a different approach to that of former owner Roman Abramovich, who was renowned for his high turnover of managers. The Russian's name was also sung by Chelsea fans during the loss at Manchester City.
