Chelsea searches for new manager as Premier League breaks record for most sackings in a single season | CNN

Chelsea's managerial merry-go-round has reached its wildest spin yet. Just six months ago, Graham Potter was hailed as the man to usher in a fresh era at Stamford Bridge, lured by the promise of being Chelsea's top brass after American businessman Todd Boehly took over. The club spent over $600 million on new talent, but it seems that investment hasn't translated into success.

Potter won just 10 of his 28 league matches and left the team in 11th place in the Premier League table. His tenure was marked by a lack of balance and organization, with players seemingly struggling to find their rhythm. The departure of Potter comes as no surprise given that many had lost confidence in his ability to deliver results.

The move away from Thomas Tuchel's predecessor marks another turning point in Chelsea's season. While the German coach's exit might have been a shock, his parting words suggest that he still values Boehly and believes the new ownership group will change for the better. Boehly had vowed to be different from Roman Abramovich's era, but it appears that was just an empty promise.

With 10 games left in the league, Chelsea still has plenty to play for, including a Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid on the horizon. Assistant coach Bruno Saltor will take over as interim manager, but Boehly and his team must now find a long-term replacement capable of bringing order to the club's chaos.

Potter's sacking is just another casualty in the Premier League's most tumultuous season yet. With 12 managerial sackings already this campaign, it seems that the top-flight managers are more prone to being discarded than ever before. The previous record for manager changes in a single season was 10, set in four other campaigns, most recently in 2017/18.

The latest twist highlights just how mercurial the Premier League can be – results don't have to be instantaneous, and even the best managers can fall victim to changing fortunes. As one pundit succinctly put it, "You don't change Tuchel for Potter. Ridiculous decision to start with."
 
Ugh, I'm so over this managerial merry-go-round at Chelsea 🤯. First Graham Potter and now who's next? It's like Boehly is trying to lose his shirt on managers 💸. And what's the point of all these changes if they're not even producing results? The club spent a fortune on new talent, but it's like they forgot how to put it together 🤷‍♂️. I mean, 10 games left in the league and still 11th place? That's just unacceptable 😒. Boehly promised to bring stability after Abramovich's era, but so far, so bad 😐. At least Tuchel's successor can't be blamed for being a novelty act 🎪. Can we please just get some consistency in the Premier League already?! 🙄
 
Ugh I'm so over these managerial merry-go-rounds 🔄😩! Like, what's wrong with Chelsea? They spend gazillions on new players and still can't get a decent result? And now they're already changing managers again... it's like they're trying to make themselves look bad 😂. And don't even get me started on Boehly, he was supposed to be the savior but it looks like just another empty promise 🤑. 10 managerial sackings in one season is insane 🤯! Can't these guys just stick with someone for once? I swear, I'm starting to think that Tuchel's departure was a blessing in disguise 🙏.
 
I mean what's up with Chelsea's managerial situation 🤯? First, they're all over Tuchel and then he leaves on good terms... like Boehly actually has a plan. Meanwhile, Graham Potter gets the axe after just six months 💔. I'm not saying it was a bad move, but 10 wins in 28 games is a bit of a red flag 🔴. It's like they're trying to change the team as fast as they can, but that's not how you build a successful squad. Boehly needs to find a coach who can stabilize the ship and take them to the top ⚓️. Maybe it's time for a complete overhaul... 10 managerial sackings already this season? That's wild 🌪️!
 
I'm like totally torn about this Chelsea thing 🤯... I mean, Graham Potter was literally hyped as the new big thing just six months ago and now he's out? Like, what even happened? Wasn't he supposed to be all balanced and organized or something?

And I know Thomas Tuchel said some nice things about Boehly after leaving but it sounds like Boehly's whole "we're gonna change for the better" thing was just a load of hot air 💁‍♂️... Meanwhile, Chelsea still has some decent games left to play and they could totally turn their season around.

On the other hand, with 12 managerial sackings already this season? Like, that's wild 🤪. The Premier League is always crazy but it seems like managers are being tossed out left and right. You never know what's gonna happen from one week to the next...

Wow 🤯! Chelsea's season has gone from bad to worse, what happened to all that big money spent on new talent? It's like Boehly's promise of a fresh era didn't quite deliver... yet 😕. Still got 10 games left to turn it around, but the managerial merry-go-round keeps spinning... Interesting 🔀
 
this premier league season is getting crazy 🤯♂️ with all these managerial changes. its like they're changing managers as much as they change their kits every season ⚽️ the thing is, you can't just swap one manager for another and expect things to magically improve 🔮 chelsea's situation seems pretty dire atm but that's not saying they'll never recover 💪 its all about finding the right balance & organization on the pitch now

omg what's going on at chelsea 🤯 they go from all guns blazing with that huge transfer budget and then potter just flops after 6 months already? 😩 like i get it, football is unpredictable but still 🤔 the fact that Boehly's "promises" of a new era are looking hollow is pretty worrying for the fans 💔 10 more games left is a big ask, can they turn it around? 👀 and 12 managerial sackings this season? that's wild 🌪️
 
omg i dont get why chelsea keep changin managers lol didnt they think potter would work out? i mean 600 mil on new players shouldve meant somethin but now its just another mess 😂 didnt roman abramovich do the same thing back in the day? at least he had some success 🤷‍♀️ whats goin on with the premier league this season tho? seems like everythin is changin all the time 🔄 and now they got a champions league game comin up so like what r they gonna do then?? 🏆
 
I'm so done with Chelsea's managerial carousel 🔄😩! Graham Potter's sacking is just another sign that the club's new ownership group needs to step up their game. I mean, $600 million on talent and what do we get? 10 wins out of 28 league matches? 😳 It's not like they didn't have a good squad, it was just Potter's management that was lacking.

And now they're already looking for a new manager... I hope Boehly and his team can actually deliver on their promises this time around. The Premier League is crazy enough as it is, but add all these managerial changes and it's like the teams are playing musical chairs 🏃‍♂️. Can't wait to see what happens next with Chelsea and Bruno Saltor taking over... 👀
 
OMG 🤯 I'm telling ya, back in my day we didn't see so many managerial changes in a season! I mean, I know things are different now and all that jazz 💁‍♀️. But seriously, 12 manager sackings already? That's wild 🎢. I guess you could say the Premier League is more like a game of musical chairs these days 🕺.

I mean, what happened to stability and continuity? It seems like every time things aren't going well, the boss is outta there 💥. And now they're trying to find some kinda silver lining in Thomas Tuchel's parting words 🤝. Like, Boehly was all about change and progress, but it looks like that was just a bunch of hype 🎉.

But you know what? I think the team can still turn it around 💪. They've got 10 games left and they're in a good spot to make some noise 🔊. Maybe Bruno Saltor will be the one to bring some order to this chaotic mess 🙏. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next 🤔.
 
I'm thinking that Chelsea's constant managerial changes are crazy 🤯! It's like they're trying to find a magic formula overnight or something. Graham Potter was just six months in and already gone, what's next? 😂 They spent so much money on new players but it seems those investments aren't paying off. Boehly promised to bring change but from what I'm reading he's not doing anything different than Abramovich did. Chelsea's season is still pretty far from over tho, they've got 10 games left and some big matches coming up, including that Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid 💪!
 
man I'm so over this season already 🤯 Chelsea's managerial merry-go-round is just crazy and Boehly's promises are like air 🌀 he's got a big budget but can't seem to get it right, it's like they're trying to make the same mistakes as Abramovich's era all over again 😒. Potter's sacking was always gonna happen eventually, I mean who falls to 11th in the league with that kind of cash 💸? anyway, Saltor stepping up is a decent move, he's been doing well under Tuchel so fingers crossed for him 🤞 but we all know how it ends - Chelsea'll probably get knocked out by Madrid in the Champions League 😅 and Boehly will be looking for another scapegoat come next season...
 
🤦‍♂️ like, chelsea's new ownership group is all about playing the market, but they need to stop making these big changes every five minutes! graham potter got axed after just six months and he was already struggling. it's like Boehly is trying to rebuild the team in one season 🤯. saltor's gonna be in charge for now, but let's see how that goes. maybe they should've stuck with tuchel 🙄. 12 managerial sackings this season? what's going on?!
 
omg, this chelsea saga is getting crazy 🤯! first they're all hyped about potter taking over and then BAM he's gone? i mean, 10 wins out of 28? that's not even close to what you'd expect from a top manager. and now boehly's gotta find someone else who can actually lead the team to success 🤑. it's like they're trying to change the entire identity of the club overnight. anyway, i'm all for boehly shaking things up, but come on, can't they just make a solid decision this time? 😉
 
I dont get it lol Chelsea just spent so much money and now they're like "ohh we need new manager" its kinda harsh on the last guy Graham Potter i mean he had only 28 games to settle in 🤷‍♂️ why didnt they give him more time tho? also whats with all the managerial changes this season? 12 already?! is it just me or does it feel like every team is trying to change managers mid-season its like they dont know what they want lol maybe the problem is not the managers but the whole system of how teams are run 🤑
 
I'm not buying this new ownership group thing... Boehly's just throwing money around like nobody's business and expecting instant results. I mean, 10 out of 28 league matches is not exactly a winning formula 🤔. And what's up with all the managerial changes? It's like they're trying to find someone to blame for Chelsea's struggles instead of figuring out what's actually going wrong. The Champions League quarterfinals are still a long shot away, but I'm not holding my breath... 10 games left and we'll see if Chelsea can finally get their act together 🤷‍♂️
 
I mean... think about this - Chelsea's whole situation feels like a commentary on how easily our perceptions of success and failure shift. One minute they're all high on the promise of new ownership, next it's a managerial merry-go-round and everyone's questioning whether Boehly was ever truly committed to change. Meanwhile, Tuchel just left after being deemed 'too traditional', but still brought wins - doesn't that say something about how we weigh value in our expectations? We're so quick to judge success when it doesn't come immediately... 🤔
