The fallen had no friends: they were glad for the departure of Graham Potter

At Chelsea, one of the English Premier League teams, manager Graham Potter was fired, while only four team players said goodbye to the experienced coach.

Potter, who left his job at Brighton around 7 months ago and took over at Chelsea, was unable to lift Chelsea, which he took over from Thomas Tuchel, to the level he wanted. Potter, who got off to a good start in his role for the London outfit but could not stop back-to-back poor results, was sacked after the loss to 11th-placed Aston Villa in the league.

While names like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria liked Chelsea’s Instagram post announcing their split, Marc Cucurella, Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja and Noni Madueke were among the players who sent Potter a message of thanks. Chilwell wrote “Thank you boss” on his post with a heart emoji, while Cucurella used the words “Thank you and good luck future boss” to his teacher in Brighton.

Broja, who was unable to shake off injuries during Potter’s tenure, said goodbye to his teacher saying “Thank you boss”, while Noni Madueke, whom Chelsea transferred from PSV Eindhoven in January, said: “I will always be grateful to you. coach. You really are the best.” she shared.

THERE WAS ALSO SOMEONE I DID NOT LIKE ON THE TEAM

Despite the farewell of all four Potter players, it was also revealed that there were footballers who were happy that the English manager was expelled from the team. Aubameyang, who ‘likes’ Chelsea’s departure announcement on Sunday night and has not been able to play for the team since February, is one of these names.

The Gabonese striker was dropped from Chelsea’s Champions League squad in January to make room for transfers. Alongside Aubameyang, midfielder Zakaria was one of the names who liked the breakup post.
