Chelsea have parted ways with Graham Potter.
Thomas Tuchel's successor at the Blues was released on Sunday evening.
Munich/London – Graham Potter is no longer the manager of Chelsea!
As the Blues announced on Sunday evening, Thomas Tuchel's ex-club has separated from his successor after only seven months.
The 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday was probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
Chelsea FC throws Potter out - Blues only in 11th place
At the beginning of September, Potter took over Chelsea from Tuchel in sixth place.
The Londoners, who also have DFB star Kai Havertz under contract, are now only in eleventh place.
Potter has only won seven of his 22 league games with Chelsea.

Chelsea FC fires Potter: ex-Tuchel club kicks out coach – Nagelsmann a candidate?
On an interim basis, Bruno Saltor will take over the fortunes of the Blues.
It is not yet clear what role this will play for Anthony Barry, whom Tuchel would like to bring to Bayern Munich.
It is possible that the new Munich coach, who made his debut against BVB successfully on Saturday, will only get his desired assistant coach faster than expected.
The name Julian Nagelsmann will probably soon appear in the Champions League quarter-finalists.
However, the ex-Bayern coach is said to have recently canceled Tottenham Hotspur.
It would be strange, however, if Nagelsmann took over Chelsea, which meets Real Madrid in the premier class, after his Bayern exit.
