Moscow, April 4 – London soccer club Chelsea will pay 13 million pounds (more than 14.8 million euros) in compensation to Graham Potter, who was sacked as coach of the team, according to the Daily Mail.
Chelsea announced Potter’s sacking on Sunday. Bruno Saltor, who was a member of the specialized coaching staff, was appointed as the team’s interim head coach.
Potter took over at The Blues in September 2022, replacing Thomas Tuchel. Then Chelsea paid Brighton 22 million pounds (more than 25 million euros) for the early termination of the contract with Potter and 10 million pounds (more than 11.3 million euros) in compensation for Tuchel. During his time at Chelsea, Potter earned around £7 million (about €8 million).
