Graham Potter has agreed to become the next head coach of Chelsea.

The loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the first game of the new season led to the dismissal of Tuchel.

The club's plans to develop the whole football operation were the subject of positive talks between Potter and Boehly, which took place in central London on Wednesday.

The legal details of his contract and Potter's backroom staff were the focus early on Thursday.

Both sides have reached an agreement about the 47-year-old taking over at the club.

They were prepared to meet the exit clause for Potter.

Two managers who are out of work, as well as a manager who is currently working in Lisbon, were all on the radar of the Blues.

Potter will be the first manager of the Boehly era. The American is still acting as sporting director, even though he has moved on to other people.

Jamie Carragher Graham Potter
Jamie Carragher says he 'fears' for Graham Potter and he 'should be very wary' should he be appointed Chelsea manager following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.

Jamie Carragher is a pundit.

"It's a very ruthless club and I'm not sure Graham Potter is the right fit, maybe they want to do things differently in the future in terms of having a coach in charge rather than a manager or they do things behind the scenes differently." I would find it hard to believe that they would do things differently. Six games into the season, they have fired a manager.

It's a huge step up in his managerial career, and he's still at a top club. If Graham Potter doesn't get results immediately, they will be getting themselves another new manager in a year.
