Accept Offerings To Be A Chelsea Manager, Graham Potter Makes Touching For Brighton Fans: I Can't Look At You To Forgive

JAKARTA - Chelsea's new manager, Graham Potter, made a touching statement to Brighton and Hove Albion fans. He apologized for leaving the team early in the season.

Potter left Brighton after receiving an offer from Chelsea management. He was asked to fill the position left by Thomas Tuchel.

The man from England is considered the right person to handle the Blues after his achievements with Brighton. Moreover, the results were made at the beginning of this season.

"I may not be able to persuade all of you to forgive my departure, but at least I want to take the opportunity to say thank you," Potter said in an open letter that Brighton released on their official website, Sunday, September 11, yesterday.

"I hope you guys understand that at this stage of the career, I feel I have to take this new opportunity," he continued.

Potter last led Brighton to beat Leicester City 5-2. That result keeps Brighton in the top four of the Premier League standings.

"There's been so much positive going on in this club," Potter said.

"Serving the training ground for the last time was a touching moment. To my successor, whoever he is, I have to say, congratulations."

"You will work for a great club with a fantastic squad backed by the chairman and directors who are also great," concluded Potter.
