Graham Potter’s sack odds have taken a huge drift, as the manager is now priced at 9/1 to be the next manager sacked after Chelsea advanced to the Champions League quarter finals on Tuesday night.

Chelsea finally enjoyed some luck on Tuesday night, as Graham Potter guided his side through a tricky last 16 tie with Borussia Dortmund to advance to the quarter finals of the Champions League.

The Blues had to do it the hard way in London, as they needed to win by at least one goal against their German opposition to advance to the next round after losing 1-0 in the first leg.

Raheem Sterling gave Chelsea the advantage just before half time with a sharp finish into the roof of the net that levelled the tie going into the break, with Chelsea looking like a serious threat every time they went forward.

Kai Havertz got a second chance at a spot kick after the 23-year old smashed his penalty off the post just after half time, with a Dortmund player found encroaching in the box before the shot was taken.

There was no mistake from Havertz the second time round and the player who loves these huge Champions League nights so much was able to provide Potter with a winner at the second time of asking.

Graham Potter has been priced as low as 17/20 to be the next Premier League manager sacked this season, but the odds on the manager being the next to leave his post have taken a huge drift in the market, as Potter is now 9/1 to be the next boss gone.

The Champions League win was a huge boost for Potter, who will certainly have kept his job safe for another couple of weeks with the comeback.

If Potter is to remain in charge of Chelsea in the long term however, the manager is still going to have to step up his side’s game in the league as the Blues remain 10th in the Premier League with a huge gap of 11 points to Tottenham in the Champions League spots.
