According to well-known British broadcaster Richard Keys, Chelsea manager Graham Potter has failed miserably and needs to be fired right away by the club's owner, Todd Boehly.

Keys also suggested Jose Mourinho as the best candidate to succeed the outgoing Brighton manager at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have been struggling to win games they should have easily, like their 1-0 loss to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

They have won just two of their previous 14 games across all competitions, and they continue to sit in tenth place, 10 points behind Newcastle United in fourth.

Keys, who believed the Englishman had "failed miserably," asked Boehly to sack him immediately and employ ex-Blues boss Mourinho to turn the club around.

“Jose Mourinho is a former Chelsea manager who’s enormously popular with the crowd,” Keys told beIN SPORTS.

“He’s the most successful individual the club has ever employed.”

Keys strongly affirmed: “The experiment with Graham Potter has failed miserably, so that’s got to change." Boehly needs a get-out-of-jail-free card, and that’s Jose Mourinho.

“Mourinho would be the most popular of appointments that Boehly could make right now and would buy him time in his project.”
