Chelsea Offer Potter Assurances About Top 4 Finish

Graham Potter has been assured his job at Chelsea is safe this season.

Chelsea's new manager has been told that while Champions League qualification is a massive target this season, it will not be make or break for his job, says The Sun.

This is a huge departure from tradition at Chelsea where it has been recognised as the bare minimum to remain in employment.

But new chairman Todd Boehly and his fellow directors are insistent that they are in it for the long term with Potter and that he will be given time.

The former Brighton chief signed a five-year contract worth over £10million a year and has been told he will get full support from Stamford Bridge bigwigs.

Chelsea have finished outside the top four just twice in the last ten years — in 2016 and 2018.
