Former Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi has suggested that Graham Potter did not exactly fit the profile of the idle manager for the club.
Potter was sacked after a rather disastrous run of results that saw the club plummet below the mid table since he took over from Thomas Tuchel.
In a chat with Dubai Eye 103.8 FM, the former Midfielder argued that under former owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea would have sacked Potter much sooner than was eventually done.
“He was given a lot of time, I think if he was in the Roman Abramovich era, he would have been sacked earlier.
“I think the club made the right decision. Maybe the club was too big for him to manage, because when I look at him on the touchline sometimes it’s like he doesn’t really know what to do; he is not communicating with the players, telling them what to do on the pitch.
🚨 Chelsea players called Graham Potter "Harry" and "Hogwarts" behind his back.
