Carragher insists Boehly should NEVER have replaced Tuchel with Potter

  /  autty

Jamie Carragher claims it was a 'ridiculous decision to start with' to replace Thomas Tuchel with Graham Potter, after it was announced that the Chelsea boss had been sacked by the club earlier this evening.

Pressure had been mounting on Potter, who took over from Tuchel back in September, after a poor run of form that had seen him win just nine of his 11 league matches in charge at the football club.

Yet, Carragher believed that it was wrong for Chelsea to appoint Potter in Tuchel's wake in the first place, after the German manager was sacked by the club, despite winning the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.

'Todd said he would be different to Roman,' Carragher wrote on Twitter, in response to Chelsea's official announcement Potter had been sacked.

'I feel for Graham Potter, but it was inevitable,' he added. 'You don’t change Tuchel for Potter. Ridiculous decision to start with.'
