Chelsea manager Graham Potter has been warned about the big job he has on his hands after a difficult first game in charge against Red Bull Salzburg.
The Blues signed Potter to replace Thomas Tuchel last week, and the German manager’s firing came out of the blue, despite a disappointing start to the season.
Potter did a good job at Brighton but has never achieved such a high standard before, and it seems pundit Rafael van der Vaart is a little worried about the new man on the bench at Stamford Bridge.
The Dutchman believes Potter has a lot of work to do at Chelsea, with the current squad looking weak, despite a huge investment from new owner Todd Boehly over the summer.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport, quoted and translated by Metro, the former Tottenham star Van der Vaart said: “I think Chelsea are very weak at the moment.
“There really is a lot of work to be done there.”
Chelsea fans are hoping Potter can make things work, though some may also wonder why they hired this relatively inexperienced manager to replace a proven winner like Tuchel, especially after backing him up with so many new signings over the summer.
