Graham Potter is Chelsea’s newest manager, after the recent sacking of Thomas Tuchel. The ex-manager of Brighton and Hove Albion - whose match as parting manager was a 5-2 win over Leicester City - has written a letter addressed to the club’s fans in an apparent apology over his sudden departure. Known for his ability to better a team’s overall performance, Potter successfully led Brighton to a 9^th place finish in the Premier League last season, which is their best performance so far.

His letter included a reference to the difficulty that one might have in accepting the sudden decisions that can occur in football. It goes on to add, that he understands if fans are unable to forgive his decision to leave the club but is nonetheless thankful for the opportunities it has provided him. He also explains that he has decided to make the move to progress in his career and wishes his successor congratulations on helming a “fantastic squad”and administration. It remains to be seen if Potter’s stint at Chelsea is as successful as his time at Brighton has been.
