"I don't see this job as a RISK!" | Graham Potter's first press conference as Chelsea manager

-TIMESTAMPS- 00:00 - Intro 00:17 - Philosophy at Chelsea compared to Brighton: You have to look at the size and ambition of the club. It’s a completely different challenge. I’m thankful to the owners for putting their trust in me. 01:29 - Potter’s UCL experience: My experiences in the UCL have been as a fan! This is an amazing evening for us, we’re super excited for it. 02:22 - A heck of an introduction: It’s a good time to be in the dugout. Wherever we start it’s a heck of an introduction. 03:21 - How do you want the fans to know you: It feels like nine months, not nine days! I’ve had some intense talks with the owners. My first impressions have been really good. 04:28 - Risks?: If we walk out onto the road outside it’s a risk. I left England at 30-years-old for an opportunity, and 17 years later I’m here. Life’s about going outside your comfort zone. I don’t see this as a risk. 05:46 - How have the players handled your arrival: they’ve been really positive around the training ground and I’m happy with the squad. 06:20 - Frustration of second game in charge being in October: I can’t control that. It’s above us. I only worry about the things I can control. 06:59 - His appointment being overshadowed: it’s one of those things where you’ll look back in 40 years and know where you were. I was the main news and then I wasn’t. 08:25 - Being the head coach and his overall role: Predominantly I’ve always been a head coach. I want to help the club. The club is the most important thing and we want to help them. 09:46 - The connection between the supporters and the team is the most important thing. I love their support and I’m thankful to have it. 11:03 - Injuries: Mendy and Kante are out. Apart from that we’ve got a fully fit squad. Mendy’s is his knee and is currently unavailable. 11:44 - Discussing the decision with the key people in his life: My children are 12 and seven so I didn’t bore them. My wife has been on this journey with me the whole way. It was a quick decision and very intense. This move felt right for me. 13:15 - Would you have taken the job under the previous owners?: I don’t like answering IF’s and it’s unfair to compare the previous regime to the current one. Our job is to create our own history. 13:57 - Expecting to come back to England?: when I left, I was working in the ninth tier and moved to the Swedish fourth tier. 15:25 - Dealing with the mixture of squad Chelsea have: It sounds strange but I approach every club with respect. It’s about understanding the individual. 16:49 - A philosophy change at Chelsea: I just see myself as a coach, not an English coach. I’ve educated myself and taken on steps to progress forward. 18:16 - What would success be this season: All my thoughts are on tomorrow night! There’s no guarantees, resources alone isn’t enough. -END- HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
