Sheriff Tiraspol defender Patrick Kpozo has heaped praise on Chelsea manager Graham Potter, claiming he is improves players and gives you belief.
Potter, who was managing Ostersunds in 2017 signed Kpozo from AIK following his impressive performance for the side.
The English coach, who was himself a left-back during his playing career, only had a few months with the Ghanaian before moving on to Swansea but he made a lasting impression.
“Graham Potter is a fantastic coach,” Kpozo told BBC Sport Africa. “I was only with him for a short time but he made a big impact.
“He gave me a chance and believed in me; he told me I was a great player and that I had all the attributes required to play in the Premier League.
“He is friendly, the players listen to him and he is clear with his communication and about what he wants his players to do. If you don’t do it, you don’t play – it’s simple.
“He improves players and gives you belief. I think I deserved his praise and now he is one of the best managers in the Premier League. I am very happy for him.”
