The Athletic: How Graham Potter took the news of being sacked as Chelsea boss

Chelsea announced that they had parted ways with current manager Graham Potter late on Sunday, and drama has since ensued.

As is what was predictable, everyone has been putting their reports out on the situation and what has happened there, and of course, who might come in next as Chelsea boss.

Sources: Four candidates club are looking at to replace Graham Potter!

But the fact remains that Potter has gone, and it looks like something that just had to happen in the end.

Potter was clearly struggling with such a big squad and in such a high profile position as Chelsea, and the pressure got too much. Fans wanted him gone, and the board have reacted.

But how did Potter take the news? The Athletic have an article out on it this morning, and there is a section on that.

They claim thatĀ Potter is believed to have taken the news, delivered face-to-face at the training ground, incredibly professionally and has agreed a severance package unrelated to the five-year deal he signed when he joined.
