JAKARTA - Chelsea's management's decision to appoint Graham Potter as a new manager sparked public shock. Many have questioned the moves of the Blues.
Manchester United legend Paul McGrath is among those confused by Chelsea's decision. He said the London club had made a mistake by choosing Graham Potter.
Chelsea, McGrath said, should have chosen Mauricio Pochettino or Zinedine Zidane as replacement for Thomas Tuchel.
Zidane, who is a former Real Madrid coach, has won three Champions League trophies. Pochettino's achievements with Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain are unquestionable.
"When you're Chelsea and you need a manager, a club that won Europe last year and is the Club World Champion should get the best," wrote the man who also wore the Aston Vill uniform in Sunday World:
The man from the Republic of Ireland stated that instead of looking for one of the managers who is a free agent, Chelsea is believed to have paid a total of £22 million to release his team's Potter from a contract with Brighton. According to him, that doesn't make sense.
I know Zidane seems to want to wait for the work of the French national team after the World Cup finals, but Chelsea are not short of money to turn their heads. Pochettino is definitely wondering what's going on," said the 62-year-old.
He added, "Both Manchester United and Chelsea have now missed a manager who is good enough to bring Spurs to the Champions League final. It also doesn't make sense to me."
McGrath's slanted comments have begun to be proven. Potter failed to present a win in his debut match with Chelsea.
The Blues only drew 1-1 against Salzburg in the Champions League arena. In fact, they appear at home with the best squad.
