Top 10 Chelsea Managers With the Worst Premier League Record As Graham Potter Tops Charts

• Graham Potter has endured a frustrating start to life since taking charge at Stamford Bridge back in September
• The Englishman has won just five of the 17 English Premier League matches he has been in charge of the Blues
• That poor run has him holding the worst record in the top flight league by any manager in the history of the club

Graham Potter has emerged as the Chelsea manager with the worst Premier League record in the history of the club.

The Blues have endured a disastrous run of form across competitions under the Englishman, with the club managing just two Premier League wins from 14 matches.

Chelsea's most recent EPL outing ended in a 1-0 defeat against bottom-placed Southampton at Stamford Bridge.

The defeat came just days after the west Londoners had lost by a similar scoreline against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

According to The Sun, Potter has now led Chelsea to just five Premier League wins since he took charge of the club back in September.

The torrid run of results leaves the Englishman with a dismal win percentage of just 29.4 per cent in the English top flight league - the worst by any Chelsea manager in the history of the club.

But who else had an equally woeful reign at the helm of affairs at Stamford Bridge?

Sports Brief also reported on the Chelsea board reportedly having no intention of sacking Potter, despite the club's underwhelming run of results so far.

The Blues' manager has come under immense scrutiny since he succeeded Thomas Tuchel at the helm of Stamford Bridge back in September last year.

The former Brighton and Newcastle boss has been unable to steady the ship at the club, with the English club managing just one win in 10 outings.
