English football manager Graham Potter has already laid out his plan for success at the Blues, with Chelsea’s new head coach revealing what he will take to a demanding role.
A little about the topic
The highly ranked manager takes on a new challenge at Stamford Bridge with the Premier League heavyweights after agreeing to see a successful three-year spell at the Seagulls to an end. The 47-year-old finds himself in west London after Tuchel’s sacking and believes the Englishman has the tools to take the ambitious side forward.
What did Graham Potter say?
The new Chelsea manager told the Blues’ official website of his vision that the club’s history speaks for itself, but it’s about trying to build it up again in your own way. According to Graham Potter, this is an amazing story, a fantastic tradition, a historic football club. Potter means growing up with the fantastic Chelsea teams of the modern era. They only have to walk around the place here and they see the pictures, they see the trophies, they see the names.
It’s incredible and Graham is honored to be a part of it now. The English manager says it’s about building a team that is competitive, that respects each other, that it’s fair, that it works together, so it’s a combination, he would say, of football and human values that they’re trying to work with.
Graham Potter thinks that they should first understand that they are human, and most importantly, try to understand them, understand what motivates them, and understand what kind of people they are, and then, from that, try to come to some kind of common opinion, try build relationships, strive to communicate effectively on a daily basis and build respect, trust and honesty.
Graham, who first caught the eye at managerial level in Sweden at Östersund before moving on to work at Swansea and Brighton, added of his plans to the Blues that his starting point would always be man first. According to Graham Potter, he had a football career that he was very lucky that gave him a lot of opportunities, a lot of experience, and then his education, after retiring, he believes, gave him a chance to put it into some kind of theory, put some context into experiences.
