Breaking News: Chelsea Sack Tuchel, Potter Takes OverBreaking News: Chelsea Sack Tuchel, Potter Takes Over London, September 7, 2023 Chelsea Football Club have announced the sacking of manager Thomas Tuchel with immediate effect. The decision comes after a disappointing start to the Premier League season, with the Blues picking up just three wins in their first seven games. Sources close to the club indicate that the decision was made by the board of directors following a meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Tuchel was informed of his dismissal shortly after the meeting concluded. The club has confirmed the appointment of Graham Potter as Tuchel’s replacement. Potter has been in charge of Brighton & Hove Albion since 2019 and has guided the Seagulls to impressive results, including a ninth-place finish last season. Potter is known for his expansive and attacking style of play, which is expected to suit Chelsea’s talented squad. He will take over immediately and his first game in charge will be a Champions League clash at home to RB Salzburg on Tuesday. Chelsea have endured a turbulent season so far, with a number of off-field issues contributing to their poor results. The club was rocked by the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan this summer, and has also been impacted by the departure of several key players, including Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen. The sacking of Tuchel is a sign that the Chelsea board are determined to turn things around and challenge for major honors this season. Potter is a highly-rated manager with a proven track record, and will be expected to bring stability and success to Stamford Bridge.
