Boris Becker recently reacted to the news of Chelsea's decision to terminate the contract of their manager Graham Potter. The English tactician's dismissal occurred a mere six months into his tenure with the Blues.

Chelsea officially announced the termination of Potter's employment on Sunday, April 2. The decision was made in light of the team's 2-0 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday, April 1.

Following the loss, Chelsea slumped to 11th in the standings with 38 points from 28 matches, a staggering 24 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, who have played one game more.

In September 2022, Potter took charge of Chelsea, replacing Thomas Tuchel. He signed a lucrative five-year deal worth £12 million per year, bringing the total cost of the contract to a staggering £60 million.

In order to terminate Potter's contract, Chelsea were required to buy out the remainder of his agreement, resulting in additional expenses for the club.

Becker took to social media to share the news of Graham Potter's sacking.

The Blues played 31 games across competitions under Potter, winning 12, losing 10, and drawing eight.

Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino are among the frontrunners to replace the Englishman at Stamford Bridge.
