Last season, Brighton finished in ninth place which was their highest Premier League finish. They ended their season with 51 points.
Graham Potter’s project of Brighton was very fascinating, as he created a balanced team with a mixture of both young and experienced players. They developed some bright talents like Marc Cucurella, Yves Bissouma, Ben White, Dan Burn, and Neal Maupay and sold them with a huge price tag.
Graham Potter was always praised by the pundits, as he put more focus on developing players on a long-term basis.
Potter’s “progressive” and “unconventional” coaching methods have always been recognised, as he describes his teams as “tactically flexible, attacking, [and] possession-based”.
Graham Potter has officially said on his managerial take over: “I am very excited to partner with Chelsea’s new ownership group and look forward to meeting and working with the exciting group of players and to develop a team and culture that our amazing fans can be proud of.”
The Premier League giant was looking for a long-term appointment to move the club forward. They want to develop their young talents like Broja, Gallagher, Gabriel Slonina, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Wesley Fofana. It looks like Graham Potter is the perfect man in developing such potential players. But the owners of Chelsea need to be patient with such long-term projects.
