After firing the German coach Tuhell , Chelsea cut the mess and dug up Brighton coach Porter and his coaching team in a flash. Of course, the Blues also paid a heavy price. According to the revelation of " Times ", Chelsea paid Brighton a 22 million pound termination fee as compensation for Porter's team's departure, which inadvertently created A record of liquidated damages for head coaches in the world. Before this, the manager's record of liquidated damages was the current Bayern young coach Nagelsmann. In 2021, Bayern paid him 220 million euros.
This is the second local coach that Chelsea welcomed after 1996. In his previous , Lampard coached for 1 year, 6 months and 21 days, leading the team to a record of 44 wins, 15 draws and 25 losses, with a winning rate of only 52.3%. Compared with Lampard's brilliant player era, Porter only played 8 games in his 13-year player career, Premier League , which belongs to the unknown type. Porter was so self-deprecating at that time: "One day, I will be this one. Sports elimination, I will never receive invitations from giants such as Barca or Manchester United . ", but he probably didn't expect that the transfer fee was only 300,000 pounds in the player era, and he never hoped to be favored by the giants. In his coaching career, he won the coaching stick of Premier League giants Chelsea team , and the "transfer fee" reached 22 million pounds. So, can he bring Chelsea back to life now in a mess?
47-year-old Porter was born in 1975 in a relatively wealthy family in Solihar, England and chose the path of football. However, as mentioned above, his player career is so lackluster that he was so sad that he was only 30 years old. After that, Porter began his career. With his clever mind, he quickly obtained a degree in social sciences, leadership and emotional intelligence from Open University , and thus obtained the qualification to apply for a college football position. After gaining valuable coaching experience in college, Porter went abroad to the cold Nordic Europe and served as the head coach of the Swedish fourth-level league team Ostsund. Porter's coaching talent was fully demonstrated in a foreign country where the coldest reached 20 degrees Celsius. He led the team to return to the top league in just 4 years and won the 2017 Swedish Cup championship. , qualified to participate in Europa League .
2017/18 season, Porter led Ostsund into the Europa League knockout stage and met with Premier League giants Arsenal narrow road. In the first round, he fought at home, Porter's team suffered a crushing defeat of 0-3, but the away game in the second round was the second round. In the battle, Ostsund defeated the Gunners 2-1. Although he was eventually eliminated, he could leave the Emirates Stadium with his head held high. In the summer of 2018, Porter returned to China to serve as the head coach of the Swansea team who had just been relegated from the Premier League. One season later, he was invited by the Seagulls Brighton to become the new coach of the Premier League team that barely relegated.
From the Swedish League 4 to Championship and then to the Premier League, Porter's starting point was very low, but it laid the foundation for his coaching. Last season, Brighton, who he coached, won the 9th place in the Premier League. This season, after losing , Kukurelia, , Bisuma and other absolute main players, Brighton still won 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 The negative record is among the top four in the Premier League standings. Manchester City coach Guardiola admires the English young coach very much and calls himself Porter's "number one fan".
This is definitely not a compliment, because in the past three seasons, Porter's coaching talent has been unanimously recognized. Through extremely high-level training, he has built a platform for his players to display his talents. Bry led by him Even when facing strong enemies, they can be able to move forward and retreat easily. The suffocating high-level oppression, staggered low-level defense, and dazzling small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt all left a deep impression. Such a master of tactics has obviously worthy of Chelsea's coaching ability today. The only thing he lacks is the coaching experience of the giants. The Blues' tradition of not being friendly enough to coaches is also a huge test for Porter.But no matter what, the player era lamented that he was not paying attention to by the giants, and now he was able to stand on the sidelines of Stamford Bridge to give advice. This is his greatest success. As for whether he can succeed, let it be left to time.
