Graham Potter: Why I moved from Brighton to Chelsea |
Graham Potter, the newly appointed manager of Chelsea FC, has spoken out in an open letter about his move to the English club.
His appointment came after Chelsea sacked former coach
Thomas Tuchel.
In an open letter to Brighton fans over the weekend, Potter
explained that he left the south coast club because he wanted to take a new
chance in his career.
The letter states, among other things: "I am saying
goodbye to a great club that will always mean a lot to me and my family,"
Potter's letter reads.
"I may not be able to convince you to forgive me for
leaving, but I would at least like to take this opportunity to thank you. All
good clubs need great owners and great fans.
"Your personal stories of following the club from
parents and grandparents who were fans helped me understand what makes Albion
so special. I hope you understand that at this stage in my career I felt I had
to take a new chance.
