Graham Potter received a humiliating loss from his former team, Brighton, in his debut for Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel, a former captain of Chelsea, had his position terminated just before a lucrative transfer window opened, and Graham Potter was selected as his replacement a short time later.
Being fired in the middle of a contract, according to Thomas Tuchel, is one of the dangers any manager takes, and he advises Potter to be prepared for anything.

Despite the long-term project pledge from the new manager, Graham Potter’s terrible first loss could be a warning sign after watching him struggle to remain competitive in recent games.
Reuben Loftus-Cheek and Trevor Chalobah each put two of Chelsea’s three goals at the America Express Stadium into their own posts, yet still the team still lost.
Potter had to substitute several players during the halfway point of the game, confirming the tactical blunder made at the beginning of the game.
Before Groß responded to Kai Havertz’ goal with a beautiful finish off the rebound from Edouard Mendy’s save, Chelsea stumbled earlier when Trossard rounded Kepa Arrizabalaga to put Brighton in front. Thereafter, the two own goals followed.
Although a shake-up is anticipated in the new era, the new management has also vowed to give Porter a very long time to prove he can handle the project by signing a 5-year contract with the former Brighton manager.
According to a recent interview with Thomas Tuchel, it may be accurate to infer that the German tactician has already given his successor a hint about his departure from Chelsea.
The former Chelsea manager remarked, “I loved every day at Chelsea; it ended too soon for me, but it was out of my hands, this is also what you sign up for.”
In the Champions League, we played the underdog, and there were many games I was really pleased with.
Despite having a game remaining, Chelsea isn’t considered one of the competition’s favourites for the current season even though they have advanced to the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
Following victories by Tottenham and Newcastle, who defeated Aston Villa 4-0 to go up to third place, Chelsea’s loss to Brighton today causes them to drop out of the top four.
Should Manchester United defeat West Ham United on Sunday, Chelsea would face even more trouble.
