How Taylor Swift helped Graham Potter get over Chelsea sacking as ex-Blues boss reveals he's ready to return to management

 

Graham Potter revealed that he turned to Taylor Swift to get over his Chelsea sacking as the ex-Blues boss feels he is ready to return to management.

 

WHAT HAPPENED?
Potter took the reins at Chelsea in September 2022, replacing Thomas Tuchel as head coach. However, his time in charge at Chelsea was fraught with challenges as the club won only 12 matches during his tenure and endured 11 losses. The final straw came in April 2023 when Chelsea suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, prompting the club’s hierarchy to relieve him of his duties.

 

WHAT POTTER SAID
Reflecting on his time at Chelsea, Potter acknowledged the emotional toll of his sacking. “It’s a bit like a grieving process in a way; it gets better with time,” he explained in an interview with The Telegraph. “You have to try not to beat yourself up, but you can’t just blame everything on somebody else. You’ve got to find the right balance. It’s not nice because of the high-profile nature of it. There’s a humiliation that it doesn’t go well. I was sacked after seven months of a five-year contract after being taken from Brighton, so there’s all that on a human level you have to deal with.”

 

The immediate aftermath of his dismissal was particularly tough for Potter.

 

He added: “The first six months were tough because I worked really, really hard to get that type of opportunity. I don’t think it was the only opportunity I was going to get because I left Brighton in a really, really good place. So it was about choosing the right opportunity. And I didn’t choose the wrong one, it just didn’t work out. I don’t have any regrets over doing it, but, at the same time, when anybody loses their job, there’s an element of frustration, anger and maybe bitterness at some point.”

 

HOW DID TAYLOR SWIFT HELP POTTER
Potter sought solace in spending time with his family and friends but it was a Taylor Swift concert with his son that lifted his spirits.

 

“The most important thing was to be with my family and friends, just connect with them,” he said. “Being in the public eye is a by-product of the job, so I chose not to be when I didn’t need to. I spent some time with Steve Borthwick at England Rugby. I went to the US and saw some sports over there, some organisations. I went to the Falklands and did a leadership talk, and, much to the horror of my 14-year-old boy, I went to see Taylor Swift in concert. He’s not as much of a fan as me.”

 

DID YOU KNOW?
In addition to concert-going, Potter used his leisure to learn Spanish so that he would not be at his wit’s end if an opportunity cropped up in Spain.

 

“I needed to create routines in my life and when I was off, part of it was the gym and part of it was Spanish lessons,” he said.

 

“I had a tutor. I’ve had a bit of a break from that now, but I’m doing the apps and studying, and I’ll see how that goes over the next few weeks, or months, and see what happens work-wise. It’s more for the brain and to learn a language.”

 

WHAT NEXT FOR POTTER?
Now that he has had time to recover, Potter is ready to return to football management. There have been reports that he is on the Football Association’s shortlist for the England national team job, should Lee Carsley not be handed the permanent position. Additionally, Potter has been linked with a potential move to Everton, following the club’s recent change in ownership. While his time at Chelsea may not have gone as planned, the 47-year-old remains optimistic about the future – this time with valuable lessons learned and, of course, a Taylor Swift concert
