In a somewhat of a surprise move, Chelsea FC have today parted company with their German head coach Thomas Tuchel.
The club in a statement wrote
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.
As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition.
Chelsea’s coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation of our upcoming matches as the Club moves swiftly to appoint a new head coach.
There will be no further comment until a new head coach appointment is made.
I still can’t understand why #ChelseaFC would fire #Tuchel so early in the season.
After all that has happened at the club over the last few months, Thomas deserved better from the new owners.
The coach coming into the club will have to prove himself as Tuchel set a standard.
