Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has backed Graham Potter for long-term success at Chelsea and says there are already signs of progress at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potter succeeded Tuchel in the Chelsea dugout in early September, but his future was called into question following a run one win in 11 games to begin the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the former Brighton and Hove Albion boss has slowly turned things around, with Chelsea entering the international break on a run of three wins and a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Villa boss Emery, who lasted 18 months at Arsenal before being sacked in November 2019, believes Potter fully deserves his chance to shine at a big club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He did amazing at Brighton and needs time to adapt his ideas at Chelsea,” Emery said at Thursday’s pre-match press conference. “Progressively, they’re doing better and better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tuchel’s work was also amazing, but what Potter did with Brighton was really amazing and he deserved to take a step up with a team like Chelsea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They’re now progressing. Everything he previously did with Brighton he can do as well with Chelsea. He just needs time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They have played well in the Champions League but have not been as consistent in the Premier League. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But we know on Saturday we’re playing one of the best teams in the Premier League. It’s a good challenge for us and this is why I’m in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
