Under pressure, Brendan Rodgers has made a bold Thomas Tuchel prediction as the sacked Chelsea boss has been pictured for the first time since Todd Boehly wielded the axe in favour of newly appointed Graham Potter.
The Blues acted fast in the managerial search process after Tuchel was dismissed from his role, hours after his side put in a lacklustre display on the continent in the Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb.
However, football.london understands that this result went very little towards the decision-making of the new Chelsea board, who have had their minds set on this decision as far back as pre-season. It was a matter of when rather than if. They decided a few days before Fulham was the right time for a change.
