Chelsea on Wednesday sacked manager Thomas Tuchel just seven
games into the season following a chastening 1-0 Champions League defeat at
Dinamo Zagreb.
The London club said in a statement they had "parted
company" with the German, who led them to Champions League glory in 2021
and the Club World Cup crown earlier this year.
"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," Chelsea said in a statement.
"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."
The Stamford Bridge club, under new owners Todd Boehly and
Behdad Eghbali said they had made the change at the "right time".
Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League table after three
wins, one draw and two defeats in their opening six matches.
Tuchel is the second Premier League manager to be fired this
season - Bournemouth sacking Scott Parker last week.
