Chelsea's new manager, Graham Potter's rise in football could be traced to his early beginnings with the Ghana female national team.

The 47-year-old played a key role in the Black Queens World Cup participation in 2007, acting as the technical director of Ghana's female national team.

Following his ascendancy in football, it was ideal to look at how Graham Potter shaped Ghana's female football in the mid 2000's and the players he worked with.
