Reece James has become the first Chelsea player to speak out following Thomas Tuchel's shock sacking.
Tuchel was axed by Todd Boehly the morning after the Blues succumbed to an unexpected 1-0 defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League - although It has since emerged that the new Chelsea hierarchy had already decided that the German's time at the club was up and that he was set to be sacked regardless of the outcome of Tuesday night's match.
The former Paris Saint-Germain coach was a popular figure at Stamford Bridge and made an instant impact at the club, guiding Chelsea to the Champions League title just months after succeeding Frank Lampard.
