Chelsea are reportedly facing a £50 million cost if they fire head coach Graham Potter.
In September, the Blues signed then-Brighton & Hove Albion manager Thomas Tuchel to a five-year contract.



Potter's appointment appeared to be a masterstroke by the club's new owners at first, as he recorded six victories and three draws in his first nine matches, but he has failed to build on that success.


Instead, Chelsea finds itself in 10th place in the Premier League standings, needing to overcome a 1-0 deficit against Borussia Dortmund in order to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea have not won a Premier League match since January 15, and they have only scored four goals in their last ten games in all competitions.


Despite the club's 2-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, Potter is said to have the support of the club's board.


According to The Mirror, if the Blues decide to change their approach, they will have to pay an exorbitant compensation charge to Potter.


According to the article, Potter stands to earn almost £50 million if he is fired just six months into a long-term contract.


A partnership led by Todd Boehly paid more than £20 million to secure Potter's services from Brighton at the conclusion of the summer.

While Chelsea's owners have not been shy about investing huge money on new players, it remains to be seen whether the same holds true for changing managers if the squad does not progress under Potter.

In theory, the West Londoners would have to pay additional costs to obtain the services of a new face, if they were working at the time.

Chelsea currently have a nine-point lead above the relegation zone, but that might shrink if they lose against 17th-placed Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.

That match takes place three days before Chelsea takes on Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League game, with Potter and his team becoming increasingly conscious that success in that competition will be genuinely essential.
