Former Chelsea boss, Rafa Benitez has warned Chelsea manager, Graham Potter that playing beautiful football without winning anything at Chelsea won’t save his job.

Chelsea sacked Thomas Tuchel after the defeat suffered in Zagreb in the Champions League and later announced former Brighton boss, Potter as their new head coach.

The 47-year-old could not win his first match which was in the Champions League, playing out a 1-1 draw against Red Bull Salzburg.

Benitez, who was interim boss at Chelsea in 2012-13, was asked about Potter on SkySports

He said, “He did a great job [at Brighton].

“When you have good ideas and they give you time, you can develop something, so the environment was good for him.

“Now, he will feel the pressure [at Chelsea]. Hopefully he does well, because I do like him.

“But he has to win. Now you cannot play nice football for six months and win nothing.

“He has to be in the top four, he has to challenge for trophies. It is another weight. The fans will be demanding.

“You have to win, you have to compete against Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham.

“It will be more demanding for him. He has the knowledge, can he [do it at Chelsea?] We will see in the future.”
