Kai Havertz did not expect Thomas Tuchel to be sacked by Chelsea given the trophies won and success enjoyed during the German's reign at Stamford Bridge. But the forward insists the Blues are still "in for a good time" under new head coach Graham Potter.
It was a little more than two weeks ago that Chelsea – to the shock of players, staff, and supporters – announced Tuchel's departure. It's understood the decision was taken after a breakdown in the relationship between the 49-year-old and the club's new co-owners, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
Chelsea had also started the campaign poorly; Tuchel's final match at the helm proved to be a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. However, that is not believed to have influenced the thinking of the new ownership, who had already decided to part ways with Tuchel before the loss in Croatia.
