Graham Potter’s move has been praised and regretted, and details about Thomas Tuchel’s departure have emerged and there are no significant signs for Sweden’s Manchester United.
Here are today’s English football news headlines.
Today Snack Ice Cream
Chelsea Hiring Graham Potter She was greeted with a warm embrace by most tabloids. The Daily Mail writes that the club has done English football a favor:
“He hasn’t noticed since Roy Hodgson went to Liverpool in 2010 that an English coach works outside the top six,” says columnist Martin Samuel, and also mentions Eddie Howe of Newcastle.
“If either of them succeeds – and remember that no English manager has won Premier League – Can English language coaches be brought back into fashion?
The Guardian’s Jonathan Wilson feels sorry for Brighton and believes the selection of Potter shows that money is always the most important thing in football.
“You can’t judge Graham Potter for joining Chelsea more than Mark Cucurella, who left last summer, or Yves Bisuma who went to Tottenham. There is a clear way to climb and if you want to win titles you have to do it; like Potter climbed when he left Swansea for Brighton. Wilson wrote.
“But it is frustrating to become moral that no matter how smart you are, football will always be a world where money trumps intelligence.”

Queen Elizabeth II dominated the headlines after she grew old yesterday at the age of 96. It will be announced later in the day whether the Premier League round of this weekend will be canceled due to national mourning. Friday’s championship match between Burnley and Norwich has been cancelled.
Today’s explanation
It is said that the explanation behind Thomas Tuchel’s resignation was mainly related to the strained relationship with owners Todd Boehle and Baghdad Ighbali. Athletic lists a number of notable examples in which the duo made a bad impression on the former Chelsea boss.
Among other things, it is said that Buhli and Ighbali, during a meeting with Tuchel, formed a team in the form of 4-4-3. Formation does not exist of course. The coach also felt he had to spend a lot of time in transfers rather than preparing the team for next season.
Tuchel’s wish list initially included Matthijs de Ligt, Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong and Presnel Kimpembe, players whose owners failed to deliver. In addition, Tuchel was keen to talk about potential new deals, while Buhli and Ighbali relied solely on stats.
Tuchel did not like the fact that the duo also wanted to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and Jules Conde.
farewell today
Thiago Silva’s feelings for Thomas Tuchel became clear yesterday. Brasen posted an emotional post directed at the film and thanked him:
“Besides being very professional, you and your management staff were wonderful people. It was a real privilege to work with you. Thanks for everything Thomas Tuchel, sorry I couldn’t help more! God bless you and your family.”
Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, and Cesar Azpilicueta are examples of other players who also thanked Tuchel. Mateo Kovacic wrote: “It was a pleasure learning from you and working with you and your staff. Thank you Lord.”
It is possible to see which players in the team were not happy with Germany. For example, Christian Pulisic’s father previously expressed his dissatisfaction with his son’s limited playing time on social media.
