Graham Potter is officially the new Chelsea manager. After the shock dismissal of Thomas Tuchel earlier in the week, Todd Boehly moved swiftly to ensure that one of the Premier League‘s most exciting coaches would be coming to Stamford Bridge.
Potter has long been the hipster’s choice in England’s top-flight with the cappuccino-drinking, moustache-twirling fans amongst us heralding his stylish football with Brighton & Hove Albion.
And while his insistence on an attacking and expansive brand of football proved tricky for the Seagulls in his first few seasons, boy did it pay off for them in the long run.
In fact, Potter now leaves the Brighton side that he’s nurtured since 2019 as one of the Premier League’s most entertaining sides, tactically flexible and furiously dynamic in their dismantling of opposition teams.
