Thomas Tuchel has been painted in a bad light by the “PR people” at Chelsea following his sacking by co-owner Todd Boehly, according to Graeme Souness.
Tuchel was dismissed by Chelsea last week in the wake of the 1-0 defeat by Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. He was replaced by Brighton boss Graham Potter less than 24 hours later and Boehly is now trying to hire a sporting director.
The German manager won 60 of his 100 games in charge of Chelsea, guiding the club to the Champions League, while finishing as runner-up in the FA Cup on two occasions. Tuchel has since said he was “devastated” to lose his job at a club who will retain a “special place” in his heart.
