Chelsea, verbal agreement reached with Potter

Chelsea have now reached a verbal agreement with Graham Potter to take over as Head Coach at Stamford Bridge. In the morning the talks between the club and the coach will continue with the focus on legal details of the contract and Potter's back room staff. However, the contracts have not yet been signed.

At this point Potter seems ever closer to being Thomas Tuchel's substitute. The German was sacked on wednesday morning after the Champions League defeat against Dinamo Zagreb.
