Watch How Chelsea Acquired Manager Graham Potter For $22 Million.

According to Brighton, Chelsea compensated Graham Potter and his backroom staff with $21.5 million before hiring them in September.

On Wednesday, the South Coast Club released its most recent financial figures.

It is mentioned under “post balance sheet events” that the dugout has changed.

A Premier League side paid this record amount for a head coach.

It is, however, the second-largest of all time, after only Bayern Munich’s £22 million payment to RB Leipzig to acquire Julian Nagelsmann in 2021.

After moving to Stamford Bridge, Potter signed a five-year deal for roughly £60 million.

With the Blues, who are now in 10th position in the standings, he has had difficulty imposing his way.
