Chelsea has sacked Thomas Tuchel following their 1-0 Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.
New owner Todd Boehly has wasted no time in binning the German coach just seven games into the season and 100 days into his reign since replacing Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea is sixth in the Premier League and has made a miserable start to their Champions League campaign, with Tuchel disposed hours after their humbling 1-0 loss in Croatia, his 100th match in charge.
Chelsea added that they will move ‘swiftly’ to appoint a new manager, and Tuchel’s coaching staff will take charge of the team in the interim.
Tuchel leaves having guided Chelsea to UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup glory.
He arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2021 to replace Frank Lampard and hit the ground running by winning the Champions League in six months.
Last season Chelsea reached the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals, only to lose to Liverpool on both occasions. They also finished third in the Premier League.
In his first 50 games, they only conceded 24 goals and Tuchel was heralded for the impact he made.
