John Terry has already given his backing to Graham Potter if he is to become Thomas Tuchel's successor at Chelsea.
The Blues, spearheaded by Todd Boehly at the top, had already decided internally to move on Tuchel, but the question was when. Well, after a shambolic night in Europe which saw the west Londoners lose their opening Group E game against Dinamo Zagreb, the new Chelsea ownership structure believed it was the right time to pull the trigger. A statement from the Club reads: "Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with head coach Thomas Tuchel.
"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.
