Xinhua News Agency, London, September 8. According to several foreign media reports, the Premier League Chelsea Club has reached a verbal agreement with the current head coach of Brighton Club, Graham Porter, and Porter will be the new Chelsea coach.
Chelsea’s “potential” new coach Porter currently leads Brighton to 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the Premier League, temporarily ranking fourth in the standings. The 47-year-old England manager was named head coach by Brighton in May 2019 and has led the team to 15th, 16th and ninth places in the league in his three seasons in charge. Porter also managed Swansea before joining Brighton.
