Mason Mount's observation over Thomas Tuchel's demeanour speaks volumes as he's sacked

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount revealed Thomas Tuchel was a quiet presence in the dressing room after the defeat which came just 12 hours prior to his sacking.

Tuchel was ismissed by owner Todd Boehly on Wednesday morning following a 1-0 defeat by Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. The West London club spent more than any other Premier League side in the summer transfer window - roughly £250million - but sit outside the top four after losing two of their first six games.

Mount was part of the team which lost 1-0 in Croatia, with the 2021 European champions making a nightmare start in their efforts to reclaim the trophy. The England midfielder's comments have shed some light on the mood in the dressing room in what proved to be Tuchel's final post-match debrief with his players.
