Graham Potter, head coach of West Ham, reflected on his experience of being sacked by Chelsea, stating it has made him a stronger individual. Despite the disappointment and difficult emotions he faced after his short tenure at Stamford Bridge, he emphasized the importance of perspective and personal growth. He expressed gratitude for both positive and negative experiences, and how stepping back allowed him to reassess his approach to management. Potter acknowledged a slow start with West Ham but remains patient as he rebuilds.
"At the time you can imagine I wasn't in a good place because you are disappointed to lose your job and it hasn't gone very well, or clearly as well as you'd like."
"The worst that can happen is you can lose your job and you can still be alright, you can still move forward, still have something to offer, still grow as a person."
"It was nice to get out of the bubble - 12 years, you can end up lacking a bit of perspective."
"You want to go and work but there's not many of us [managers] in the Premier League, so you have to be patient."
