JAKARTA - Graham Potter's future at Chelsea is increasingly threatened. He is reported to have only had two decisive matches to save his job in the London team.

The 47-year-old manager has continued to get bad results with the Blues in recent matches. The latest defeat was obtained when Chelsea fought Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, February 26 yesterday.

Goals fromLAH Skipp and Harry Kane in the second half made the Blues lose 0-2 at Spurs headquarters in White Hart Lane. This defeat actually came after a surprising 0-1 defeat at home to Southampton.

Chelsea have now lost their last three games without scoring. They were also without a win in six games and scored only one goal during that period.

Chelsea's last win was won against Crystal Palace 1-0 on January 15. It even became one of their 11 wins in 2023, including the FA Cup win over Manchester City.

This bad result made Potter's fate in the Blues manager chair threatened. According to reports from The Telegraph of the match against Leeds United in the English Premier League and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, it was key for Potter to defend her position.

Their hopes in the Champions League are also getting thinner. That's because they had previously lost 0-1 to Borussia Dortmund in their first leg match at Signal Iduna Park on Thursday last week.

They will face the German giant again on Tuesday. The victory in that match is of course needed by Potter. Apart from being one of the decisive matches in his fate, that victory could also make his team survive in Europe.

So far Chelsea owners have given their full support to Potter. He will likely be given time to unify the players' game from the new total purchased at 600 million in January.

In addition, the Blues officials are also aware that the appointment of the new manager is a long-term project. Moreover, previously Potter had shown her abilities at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Potter signed a contract worth 10 million pounds per season with a duration of five years at Stamford Bridge in September. However, The Telegraph report shows that patience is eventually running low among owners, senior players, and fans.

The new players were even said to be surprised by the pressure they faced and others were furious that they were not included in the squad for the number of players at the club.
