Chelsea is on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Graham Potter amidst growing discontent among fans. The club's decision to part ways with the former Brighton boss comes as Premier League sides continue their downward spiral, setting a record for most sackings in a single season.
Potter had been handed the reins just six months ago by the new ownership group led by American businessman Todd Boehly, who promised to usher in an exciting era at the club. The new leadership committed $600 million towards revamping the squad, with Potter tasked with molding the high-profile signings into a winning machine.
However, results have been underwhelming, with Potter securing just 10 league wins out of 28 matches and Chelsea sitting 11th in the Premier League table. Fans had lost faith in Potter's ability to lead the team, and recent performances only exacerbated the situation.
The club's approach under Boehly has been starkly different from its previous regime under Roman Abramovich. While Abramovich expected instant results and relied on big-name signings to deliver success, Boehly promised a more measured approach. However, this strategy seems to have fallen flat, with Potter struggling to get the best out of his squad.
The decision to sack Potter has sparked debate among pundits, with former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher labeling it "ridiculous." Carragher believes that Tuchel's experience and success at Chelsea should have been prioritized over Potter's inexperience.
Despite Potter's departure, Chelsea still has several games left in the league and a Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid on the horizon. Assistant coach Bruno Saltor will take over on an interim basis, but Boehly and his team must now find a long-term replacement capable of instilling order at the club.
The Premier League record for most sackings in a single season has been broken, with 12 manager changes already this campaign. The previous record was set in 2017/18, when ten sides made wholesale changes to their coaching staffs.

they sacked graham potter just six months into the job and now they're on the hunt for a new manager lol what happened? 
it looks like todd boehly's plan for an exciting era didn't quite work out. 600 million invested in revamping the squad and not even 10 league wins to show for it 
that's some major mismanagement if you ask me.
. now they're gonna have to find someone who can get chelsea back on track and it's like, what even is the criteria for this new guy? 
should it be someone with lots of experience or maybe a young gun looking to make their mark?
... potter's not exactly the most experienced guy, but at least he tried something different... carragher's got a point tho, tuchel was doing alright before he left... think Boehly needs to find someone who can make both the squad and fans happy 
... gotta be careful not to overreact, still got some games left this season... wish them luck with finding their next gaffer 
Chelsea is having a major crisis 
to complete disaster 
. Boehly's plan was all about slow and steady wins the race 
, but Potter just couldn't deliver 
️. Tuchel would've been a better choice 
. Now they're scrambling for a new gaffer 
, which is just gonna make things worse 
. 12 manager sackings this season? 
️ or else 
. I mean, it's not like the teams are getting fired left and right or anything (laughs). Nah, but seriously, it's gotta be tough for players and staff when you don't know who your manager is going to be from one week to the next.
. Bruno Saltor might have his work cut out for him...
. I think Boehly's approach is all about stability and building a strong foundation for the future. Sure, Potter didn't exactly set the world on fire 
. But at the same time, Boehly's got to do what he thinks's best for the club, even if it means making some tough decisions
