Potter’s pedigree is much higher but I still feel like the jump from Brighton to Chelsea is a lot given the expectations of the club. Boehly’s gonna give him until the end of the season but if the team isn’t progressing the way they’re expecting, I can’t see him lasting 18 months
Look at Chelsea signings barring Koulibaly and the kids. The experienced players all have PL experience they all know Potterball theyve all but 1 who happens to be his former player played against it. The flexibility the movement the freedom the Chelsea players will enjoy playing in that type of system much more than whatever Tuchel was trying to do for the last 10 months.
Potter in 6 months at Swansea had Citeh going life and death with them in the cup. They were a championship team. What you think he'll do with higher level players?
This will be Boehly first managerial appointment the first guy will get some time providing results aren't too up and down.
Also let's be honest apart from Poch and Zidane who is waiting for Qatar to finish there aren't that many big club coaches out there at the moment. They either already employed/no chance of getting them at big clubs or they've already been at Chelsea.
What good coaches are there in the game at the minute not called Pep Carlo Klopp Conte? Enrique has a world cup as does Tite. Or the 2 I've already named? Xavi looks a good coach but we don't know enough yet whoelse is there ? Nagelsmann? then who else? It's looking very bare once you get past the big known names.
The only free person is Mancini but he can blow hot and cold and can be a pain in the ass as well.
