Chelsea new manager!

It's official, Chelsea have appointed Graham Potter as their new manager on a five-year contract. The former Brighton boss replaces Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked on Wednesday after a poor start to the season.

Potter is a highly-rated coach and has impressed at Brighton, where he led the Seagulls to their highest-ever Premier League finish of ninth last season. He is known for his attacking style of play and his ability to develop young players.

Chelsea will be hoping that Potter can turn their season around and help them challenge for the Premier League title. The Blues have made a poor start to the campaign, winning just two of their first six games. They are currently eighth in the table, six points behind leaders Arsenal.

Potter's first game in charge of Chelsea will be against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday. It will be a tough test for the new manager, but he will be confident that he can get his team back on track.

Here is what Potter had to say about his appointment as Chelsea manager:
"I am incredibly excited to be joining Chelsea. This is a club with a rich history and tradition, and I am very proud to be a part of it."
"I would like to thank Brighton & Hove Albion for the opportunity to manage their great club. I am grateful for the support I have received during my time there."
"I am now looking forward to the challenge of leading Chelsea to success. I believe that we have a great team and I am confident that we can achieve great things together."

Potter is a welcome addition to the Premier League and he will be hoping to make a big impact at Chelsea. He is a talented coach and he has the potential to be a success at Stamford Bridge.
