Chelsea players warned about Potter’s style

Former Brighton midfielder, Dale Stephens, has tipped Chelsea players about their new manager Graham Potter.

According to Stephens, Potter, who was signed as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel last Thursday, is authoritative, adding that he sold him.

When asked if Potter could step up and take the tough decisions at Stamford Bridge when called upon, Stephens said (via Sussex Express): “Well, he sold me. He is very much a modern manager.

“He has got his ways and his ways of playing. He is the right man for Chelsea and for the big jobs. When you see vacancies pop for Champions League clubs, he is always in the hat for the top jobs.”

He added, “He is very level headed and gets his points across. He is authoritative but does it in a manner that suits him. He is level headed and calm, and good or bad news, he is honest. I think players appreciate that and I’m sure that is an aspect that is positive for him.”
