Newly appointed Bayern Munich manager, Thomas Tuchel has reacted to the sacking of Graham Potter at Chelsea.
Earlier on, InsightNewgh.com reported that the London-based club relieved their head coach Graham Potter of his duties following bad performance since his appointment.
The news of Potter’s sacking turned out to be the good news for all Chelsea fans worldwide but a surprise to some.
After Potter’s sacking a good number of managers who are out of jobs have been heavily linked to take up Chelsea’s job and Julian Nagelsmann is rumored to be in a better position to be selected.
Reacting to the news, Tuchel who got replaced by Potter following his sacking said he saw the news through a pop up notification on his phone yesterday.
“I received the news of Potter’s sacking yesterday on my cell phone as a push notification,” he said.

Asked if he would advised Julian Nagelsmann to accept Chelsea’s vacancy job, the former PSG boss said, “Julian is not gonna ask me because he doesn’t need my advice.”
Following their last home 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday, on Sunday, April 2, 2023, Chelsea released a club statement confirming Potter’s sacking.
Potter, who joined the two-times Champions League winners in September, oversaw 31 games, winning 12, losing 10, and drawing 8.
He signed a five-year contract with a £12 million annual salary. Consequently, the contract’s total cost was £60 million.
To fire Potter, the Blues had to pay off the remaining balance of his contract.
Given that Potter has already served six months, the entire procedure is anticipated to cost close to £50 million.
With 10 Premier League games and a Champions League quarterfinal match against Real Madrid remaining this season, Chelsea is currently looking for a new manager.
Current favorites in the next manager betting markets include Luis Enrique, Mauricio Pochettino, and Julian Nagelsmann.
Meanwhile, Tottenham who recently sacked their manager Antonio Conte are also interested in appointing the former Bayern Munich boss.
