Graham Potter press conference LIVE! New Chelsea manager discusses first game in charge and more

Graham Potter’s first Chelsea press conference – LIVE!

Little under a week after succeeding Thomas Tuchel and becoming the first managerial appointment of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital era, Graham Potter holds his first press conference as Chelsea manager. One of the most interesting managerial appointments made by a top six club in years, it will be fascinating to see how Potter takes charge of a squad supplemented by a record-breaking summer of spending at Stamford Bridge.

While the 47-year-old has certainly impressed in the Premier League – turning a previously fairly attritional Brighton side into one of the most pleasing teams to watch in English football – Potter simply has not had the kind of resources and subsequent pressures Chelsea offer before.

Still, what stands out most about the former Swansea boss is his ability to communicate. A deep thinker of the game, keep across his first press conference in charge below in our dedicated LIVE blog!
