Gabonese and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has sparked controversy following the departure of coach Graham Potter from the team. Aubameyang regularly found himself on the sidelines under Graham Potter and he has now reacted to his sacking.
Aubameyang has 'liked' Chelsea's Instagram post announcing the departure of Graham Potter. The striker has struggled for game time under the former Brighton coach and may be among the big beneficiaries under new management. Aubameyang was completely out of Potter's accounts and squad during his last stint with Chelsea already. Potter had excluded Aubameyang from the Chelsea lineup in the Champions League competition, in addition to excluding him from matches in the English Premier League as well.
Potter's six-month stint as Chelsea manager came to an abrupt end on Sunday night after Todd Boehly lost patience with his team's performances after a dire season domestically. The Blues are on the lookout for the third manager in the space of a season with Bruno Saltor taking charge in the interim. Potter's successor has not been settled in Chelsea training, but reports indicate that Julian Nagelsmann is the preferred candidate to succeed Potter.
