“I spoke to the owners and they have been quite supportive” the Spaniard continued. Im concentrating on my training today the game tomorrow and then the next several steps.
That is undoubtedly a formidable challenge. Despite having only four years of coaching experience I have been active in football for 20 years.
I have a lot of expertise with changing rooms and I get there extremely early. I will make an effort to assist and direct the players because I have been in their shoes previously.
“(Were) considering it a chance for the guys. Were here to speak for Chelsea. a team with a fantastic history its about dominating and winning and we need to get ready for the game.”
Nevertheless the loss to Villa in which Chelsea once more failed to live up to the high standards established by Boehlys massive £566 million transfer expenditure put the belief that he was the ideal person for the position to the test.
Bruno said though “I think Graham did an outstanding job” even though he hadnt yet had a chance to meet with the athletes before an afternoon training session. Football is a very complicated industry but we must continue.
“Were all responsible for this. We have a responsibility to maintain a good attitude and strive to concentrate our attention on the next match.
At a press conference this morning Potters replacement Thomas Tuchel said: “I saw the news extremely late last night.
“I had a great time working there and made lifelong friends. Yet because of how much the club has changed I wasnt particularly moved to strong feelings.
Real Madrid Might Make An Impressive Chelsea Defender An Offer Of £90 Million
James is reportedly one of their top targets for the summer according to Football Insider.
Dani Carvajal the starting rightback for Real is already 31 years old so the Spanish giants might make James and Chelsea an offer to ensure that every position in their all-star team is filled to the highest standard.
James who missed 18 games in 2022–23 due to injury has had some injury concerns this season as well so Real will need to be mindful that they could be making a move for a player who wont be available every week. Carvajal has also had some injury issues this season.
The answer to the issue of whether Chelsea would even pick up the phone to discuss bids for James may not come until the summer.
In the 24 hours after Graham Potters departure the interim Chelsea boss describes the situation as “difficult and emotional”
Following face-to-face negotiations Potter was fired by Chelsea after less than seven months and 31 games in charge ending his brief career despite Chelsea having paid £21.5 million for his and the backroom teams services.
But months of unflinching support fan unhappiness and another setback — the 2-0 loss to Aston Villa — were enough to push the hierarchy over the line and force them to decide to fire Potter.
For all of us including the employees and families the past 24 hours have been trying said Bruno. “No we just need to handle the circumstance.
“Graham and Billy are two great coaches top guys and top human beings. It is a sad day for the staff.
He said “I couldnt see the guys on the team yet. An afternoon session is scheduled. We will now go see them. We will converse with them.
“Responsible? Everyone of us is accountable. We need to have a good attitude and try to concentrate on the game of tomorrow.
They will feel sadness as well since they are aware of Grahams degree of humanity Bruno continued. Theyre going to accept accountability.
I am incapable of doing it (explaining the last 12 to 24 hours). On every level especially the emotional one its been incredibly challenging. You must manage the players and the press conference. Its challenging. Its challenging to have a relationship with Graham and Billy. 12 hours that were really challenging.
