Chelsea have sacked their manager, Graham Potter, with the club currently sitting in 11th place in the Premier League. Potter had been in charge for just over a year, taking over from Frank Lampard in March 2022. The decision comes after a string of poor results, including a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in their most recent match. Chelsea have struggled for consistency this season, with just six wins from their 18 league games so far. The club's board has thanked Potter for his efforts but said they felt a change was necessary to turn their fortunes around. The search for a new manager is now underway, with several high-profile names linked to the job. The club will be hoping to find a successor quickly to help them climb the table and push for a European place.
