Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has revealed that his controversial decision to sack Thomas Tuchel came after realising that their respective 'visions' for the club didn't align.
German coach Tuchel got the chop last Wednesday following the Blues' shock 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener, before Boehly quickly appointed Brighton boss Graham Potter as his successor. Having released an initial statement explaining the decision to sack Tuchel, Boehly has now shed more light on the process of firing him in unceremonious fashion while speaking at the SALT Conference in the United States.
"Our goal is to bring a team together that with the academy, first team, with the clubs we want to acquire and develop, all of that needs to be a well-oiled machine and the reality of our decision was that we just weren’t sure that Thomas felt the same way we thought," the American tycoon explained.
