Graham Potter Decision To Keep His Assistants In Charge For Liverpool Game
The world is still reacting to the news of Graham Potter’s sacking, and there are some interesting details emerging about what comes next.
One of Potter’s assistants, Bruno Saltor, is going to take the press conference in an hour and then lead the team for tomorrow night’s game at the very least. The reason this is unusual is that it means the coach is going to be succeeded by his own staff, who may yet be moved on in the future too, depending on the appointments made by the next manager.
The Athletic claim in David Orntein’s column that this was a move that Potter himself has backed, so Bruno and his colleagues can continue without feeling they’ve betrayed their old boss.
This odd situation is actually being replicated across town at Tottenham, where Antonio Conte’s right hand man Christian Stellini has been given charge of the team until the end of the season.
