New Chelsea coach Bruno Saltor admits he has endured 'a really difficult 12 hours' after the sacking of mentor Graham Potter but insists the club feel it is 'the right step' to put him in charge ahead of Liverpool clash

Bruno Saltor, Chelsea's new interim first-team coach, has admitted the aftermath of mentor Graham Potter's sacking has been 'really difficult'.

Potter brought Saltor with him from Brighton in September last year, but on Sunday, after just shy of seven months, it was announced he would be leaving the club after a disastrous 31-game spell in charge.

His one-time assistant was immediately announced as the club's new interim manager, with Saltor taking over duties while a thorough process is conducted to find Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's third manager of a reign that is yet to celebrate its first birthday.
