LONDON : Chelsea manager Graham Potter and his family have received anonymous death threats following the Premier League club's poor run of results, he told reporters on Friday.
"As much as I've had support, I've had some not very nice emails that have come through that want me to die and want my kids to die, so obviously that's not pleasant to receive," said the 47-year-old former Brighton & Hove Albion boss. Since Potter took the job in September after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea have won nine of their 25 games.
Potter said life had been difficult over the past few months as he tried to fashion a winning team, with Chelsea 11 points adrift of fourth-placed Spurs albeit with a game in hand."I understand supporters go home and they're annoyed because the team aren't winning but, I assure you, my life for the last three, four months has been fairly average, apart from the fact I'm really grateful for this experience.
