Thomas Tuchel SACKED by Chelsea in shock decision after Dinamo Zagreb defeat

The Blues made the shock announcement on Wednesday morning following a dismal 1-0 loss in their European opener in Croatia last night.

That was Chelsea’s third defeat in seven matches across all competitions so far during the early stages of the 2022/23 campaign, having also lost to Southampton and Leeds in the Premier League.

“Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with Head Coach Thomas Tuchel,” Chelsea said in a statement.

“On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club. Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here.
