Chelsea have sacked head coach Thomas Tuchel after their 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb. The decision has been made official by the club on their social media accounts, and they are now working to find a replacement.
The Blues have not had a very positive start to the Premier League either, coming up short against Leeds United and Southampton. More concerning is their display on the pitch in all those games. They have not appeared convincing at all, and have not been able to recapture the form that they had when the German first took charge.
Thomas Tuchel sacked by Chelsea
The attack has been a major issue for the club over the last couple of years. On the other hand, their defense, which was once their best attribute, has now gone for a toss as well.
Chelsea’s unconvincing display last night, as well as some questionable decisions from Tuchel, could have contributed to the overall frustration. However, there could also have been something behind the scenes that could have led to the shocking dismissal.
Thomas Tuchel was recently rumoured to be in talks with Chelsea over a contract extension. And only days later, he has been removed as their head coach, which makes it all the more surprising.
Graham Potter is being rumoured as the frontrunner to replace the German. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino also seems to be in the race for the job.
