# Chelsea: Graham Potter set to remain in charge for rest of the season

**[C](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/)[helsea](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/) manager [Graham Potter](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/graham-potter/) is expected to remain in charge at Stamford Bridge for the rest of the season, according to reports in the last 48 hours.**

### The Lowdown: Uncertain future

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) boss has been under huge pressure after a poor run of form, which has seen several candidate names being linked to take over in the capital.

Todd Boehly [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/mauricio-pochettino-graham-potter-latest-manager-updates/) made contact with Mauricio Pochettino and is an [admirer](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/zinedine-zidane-graham-potter-latest-manager-updates/) of Zinedine Zidane, but the 47-year-old has since secured his side a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

After Tuesday night’s 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund, the Blues coach was [spotted](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11833011/Delighted-Todd-Boehly-greets-Graham-Potter-tunnel-Chelsea-beat-Borussia-Dortmund.html) celebrating with the owner in the tunnel, who appears to have made a short-term decision on his future.

### The Latest: Potter set to stay

According to the [The Daily Mail’s Chief Football Reporter Sami Mokbel](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11832757/THE-NOTEBOOK-Graham-Potters-victories-expected-provide-breathing-space.html), Chelsea are expected to give Potter ‘breathing space’ which will mean he can ‘at least’ see out the remainder of the 2022/23 season.

Boehly’s consistent backing is said to have been ‘rewarded’, with concerns that he might have had to dismiss the manager now ‘nothing he needs to worry about’.

### The Verdict: Risk worth taking

Potter will know that [two](https://www.skysports.com/chelsea-results) back-to-back victories won’t have completely removed him from the spotlight but Chelsea deciding to put their full faith in him is a risk worth taking.

The Solihull-born coach has won 11, drawn seven and lost ten of his [28](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/graham-potter/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/23954/plus/0?saison_id=&verein_id=631&liga=&wettbewerb_id=&trainer_id=) games in charge so far, but qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League is a huge statement to make, with cross-town rivals Tottenham crashing out on Wednesday to show just how easily it can all fall apart in Europe.

Kai Havertz has also publicly [admitted](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/kai-havertz-baffled-criticism-chelsea-manager-graham-potter-blues-progress-champions-league-quarter-finals/blt919462cd5f896832) that the players are 100% behind him to succeed so it’s time for them to step up and start picking up results should they want Potter to remain in the dugout.
