Chelsea defender Thiago Silva recently discussed the managerial qualities that new Blues boss Graham Potter possesses.
Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel in September and has started his tenure with three wins and a draw.
In their most recent outing, Potter's team were impressive in the 3-0 victory over AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League on October 5.
Silva played in that game and was a standout performer for the Blues. When asked what's it like to play under Potter, Silva said (via Fabrizio Romano):
"He's a special guy, a very nice and humble guy.

"He doesn't need to be perfect in the dugout, he knows how to manage the players well and he gets to organize the team well with his very human and humble communication".
Potter's men also beat Crystal Palace last weekend thanks to a last-gasp strike from Conor Gallagher.
Prior to that, the Blues drew 1-1 with RB Salzburg in the Champions League on matchday 2.
It is clear that Potter is starting to put his imprint on this Chelsea squad with their performances improving in every game.
The Blues are currently fifth in the league after winning four out of seven matches.
Next up for Potter's side is a home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league on October 8.
Silva continues to turn back the years for Chelsea
Potter has one of Europe's most highly regarded central defenders in his side, with Silva still flourishing at the age of 38.
The Brazilian joined Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020 and has been a mainstay in the side since.
He has made 91 appearances in all competitions, winning the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Not since the legendary John Terry have the west London side possessed a defender like Silva.
Silva is Chelsea's vice-captain and the captain of the Brazil national team.
He will lead the Selecao at the World Cup in November where Brazil are one of the favorites to lift the trophy.
Recently, Silva became his country's most capped defender with 108 appearances.
