JAKARTA - Chelsea officially sacked Thomas Tuchel from the coaching chair on Wednesday, September 7 afternoon Indonesian Western Time (WIB). It didn't take long, the name of Brighton & Hove Albion coach, Graham Potter immediately echoed being a strong candidate for the new Blues coach.
Reporting from Metro, England coach 47-year-old Potter has been in charge of Brighton since 2019. Under his tutelage, Brighton can still appear attractive despite being a bottom team.
In the hands of Potter, The Seagulls is not only a good team to defend but can also show a stunning attacking game on several occasions.
Last season, Potter was able to lead Brighton to finish ninth in Premier League competitions. While earlier this season, Brighton sit sweet in fourth place in the standings.
Brighton collected 13 points from six matches that have been played. The team based at the Falmer Stadium is only two points adrift of Arsenal who are at the top of the standings.
It was this good performance with Brighton that made Potter even better suited to be the future coach of the England national team. With his ability, Potter is considered worthy of The Three Lions.
Recently, Potter instead became a favorite candidate to replace Tuchel, who had just been sacked by Chelsea. The background for Tuchel's dismissal was due to a series of poor results achieved by the German coach.
During one and a half seasons at Chelsea, Tuchel was a success. He was even able to bring the West London team to the Champions League title, European Super Cup, and Club World Cup. However, at the beginning of this season Tuchel's fate turned around because of unsatisfactory results at the start of the Champions League appearance.
