EPL: Potter’s appointment makes no sense – Man Utd legend blasts Boehly

By Adeleye Kunle

Manchester United legend, Paul McGrath, has identified the manager Chelsea should have appointed to replace Thomas Tuchel as head coach instead of Graham Potter.

Chelsea, under the leadership of Todd Boehly, had last week sacked Tuchel and appointed Potter to replace the German at Stamford Bridge.

However, McGrath said Potter’s appointment as Chelsea’s new manager makes no sense, adding that the Blues should have gone for former Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino or former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

“When you’re Chelsea, and you need a manager, it behoves a club that were European Champions last year and are World Club Champions to get nothing but the best,” McGrath told Track News.
