The Graham Potter ‘era’ has begun at Chelsea, and his very first game as Blues boss is tomorrow in the Champions League. It can’t come much bigger than that, and Potter would not have experienced it bigger than that before.
Make no mistake, he has taken on a huge task now managing Chelsea, but he will also have a real belief and self-confidence that he can not only do this job but do this job well. He is a very smart man, and you have faith that he took the job on believing that he can do it justice. He certainly isn’t just some amateur manager; he has proven pedigree.

Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has been speaking on Potter in his latest column on the Chelsea website today, and Nevin admits he is excited ahead of the new era at the club under Potter and had some encouraging words to say.
Nevin said: “Graham Potter has come in and we all wish him the very best in his endeavours to build that holistic vision he shares with the new ownership. I can’t wait to see how he implements his ideas, as those methods have been liked, respected and fairly successful everywhere he has been. Now he will have to get rid of that little word, ‘fairly’, as the expectations at Chelsea are very high indeed.
“What would be good, is if he and his staff are treated fairly themselves. It takes some time to build a football team, it takes a bit longer to build a new ethos at a club. The club has had an obvious philosophy for the past two decades, and that has been win, win and win again. That will still be there, but I look forward to seeing what Graham brings on top of that.”
