Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has admitted that the Blues' dressing room was left “surprised” after Thomas Tuchel was abruptly sacked.
The German was moved on by the Blues’ new owner Todd Boehly in the aftermath of the West Londoners' defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener last week. The decision - Boehly’s first managerial call of his Stamford Bridge reign - was certainly a brave one considering Tuchel’s previous success with Chelsea.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain schemer had led Chelsea to the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup during his spell with the club. Jorginho has suggested that the Chelsea dressing room - alongside the majority of club employees - were taken aback by Tuchel’s exit but refused to divulge any specific conversations between his teammates.
