Chelsea FC has sacked manager Graham Potter after a disappointing spell in charge. The club's new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, had brought in Potter to replace Thomas Tuchel. But Potter's tenure was marked by poor results, with the team winning just 10 of 28 league matches.

What happened?

Potter's sacking comes as no surprise, given the team's poor form. The club's owners had stuck by Potter, but eventually lost confidence in his ability to turn things around.

Why it matters for Chelsea FC

The sacking of Potter raises questions about the club's direction. Chelsea FC has spent over $600 million on new players, but the team has struggled to gel. The club's owners will now need to find a new manager to take the team forward.

What comes next?

Assistant coach Bruno Saltor will take over on an interim basis. But the club's owners will be looking for a long-term replacement for Potter. The new manager will need to be able to get the best out of the team's expensive signings.
