All the latest Chelsea news and gossip including updates on Graham Potter's future, Zinedine Zidane to Stamford Bridge and Enzo Fernandez's problem after £106m transfer
Chelsea are enduring one of their worst seasons in the Premier League under Graham Potter after he replaced Thomas Tuchel as manager in September last year. Despite spending over £600million on new signings, the Blues sit 10th in the table and need to overturn a first leg 1-0 deficit against Borussia Dortmund to keep their Champions League campaign alive.
The Argentine midfielder won the World Cup with his country in December and was seen as a priority target to come in and help fix the problems at Stamford Bridge. No player in Europe's top five leagues has been dribbled past more times per game (3) than the 22-year-old since his move to Chelsea.
Zinedine Zidane verdict given by former Chelsea icon as Graham Potter pressure builds
Former Chelsea icon Emmanuel Petit believes Zinedine Zidane is not the answer for the Blues if Todd Boehly was to sack Graham Potter. Speaking to Premier League Odds, Petit said: "Zinedine Zidane doesn’t speak English so he’s not the proper choice for Chelsea to replace Potter, with all due respect to my former teammate.
"Potter has been there since September, are you really going to fire him? They should stick with him as they still have the chance to win the Champions League.
"If you sack Potter, someone who comes to the club straight away will have to adapt and do the right things and fans must understand it will take weeks and weeks. I won’t judge Potter now for the bad results."
VAR chief makes decision that affects Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham
Head of Video Assistant Refereeing (VAR) for the Premier League, Neil Swarbrick, looks set to retire at end of the season. There have been a number of controversial VAR decisions this season, most recently highlighted by Brentford's equaliser against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, although it is understood the decision was made some time ago and is not linked to recent high-profile issues with the system.
According to The Athletic, Swarbrick is set to retire at the end of the 2022/23 campaign but his successor is yet to be decided. Swarbrick finished a long on-field career at the end of the 2017/18 season and was appointed to head up VAR before its implementation at the start of the 2019/20 campaign.

Dia Emmanuel I respect your verdict but what u truly don't know is that Chelsea needs results not the language besides, Thomas came to London when he had never managed any club from English teams , didn't he got the best results so therfor unless you are not Chelsea fun otherwise you would not have backed him . let him go go go maybe can still manage your club if don't mind.
But Thomas can speak English.

Petit is a fool, Tuchel came in the middle of the season and we won champions league, even our first champions league was won by a coach that took over half of the season
