Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has urged Chelsea to give Graham Potter more time.
The Spaniard also hailed Potter as one of the best managers in the Premier League at the moment.
The two coaches go head-to-head on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup third round.
City are coming off a win over Fulham, while Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to league leaders Arsenal in the Premier League.
“If Chelsea accept my humble advice, give him time and he will do well,” Guardiola stated during a press conference.
“They got good results but the way they play, when I saw the game against Brighton that they lost, I saw many things I remember from his period in Brighton. But he needs time, everybody needs time.
“No one has succeeded from day one or two, I have a lot of admiration for his work.
“What he did at Brighton was beyond exceptional and I’m pretty sure with time he will do a good job, I don’t have any doubts.
“He is one of the best managers from my point of view, we have in this league.”
