Chelsea FC, on its official Twitter Page, announced that Graham Potter has departed the club.

Graham is said to have agreed to collaborate with the Club to facilitate a smooth transition.

The 47-year-old has been relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge after the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership decided it was already time for change in the capital.

A 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa was indeed a shame for the club.

A club statement reads in part “In his time with the club, Graham has taken us to the quarter final of the Champions League, where we will face Real Madrid. Chelsea would like to thank Graham for all his efforts and contribution and wish him well for the future.”
