Chelsea are still reeling from their weekend defeat to Tottenham, with the London giants losing 2-0 away to Spurs on Sunday. However, the fans that are keen on seeing Graham Potter get sacked will be frustrated by the latest report regarding the head coach's future.
As revealed by the Athletic, Todd Boehly and Co. will persevere with the under-fire tactician despite growing calls for a managerial change as the Stamford Bridge board remain keen on prioritizing the long-term goals over the short-term issues.
The two-time UEFA Champions League winners have been struggling in the Premier League under the former Brighton boss, with Chelsea winning only two out of their last 15 top-flight fixtures. Additionally, the club are already out of both domestic cup competitions and have a 2nd leg European tie against Dortmund to salvage their season.
Sterling and Co. currently sit 10th in the table and are level on points with 11th-placed Aston Villa. Meanwhile, the Blues are a whopping 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham in the table, meaning Champions League football is all but gone next season.
Nonetheless, the hierarchy will continue giving Potter more time to turn things around and he will thus be in the dugout for the upcoming Premier League clash with Leeds. After that fixture is the 2nd leg tie of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 showdown with Dortmund, with the English heavyweights needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
Chelsea have lost seven of their last 15 league outings but that's not all. With only six goals under their belt since November across all competitions, Potter's men will need to drastically improve if they are to avoid an embarrassing campaign.
