Chelsea parted ways with head coach Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday morning as the new ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital chose to move swiftly to address their poor start to the season.
Having spent some £270m in the transfer market under Tuchel in the summer, adding the £75m signing of Wesley Fofana from Leicester City only last week, Boehly and his co-owners made the call to part ways with the German following Chelsea's surprise 1-0 loss in the Champions League at Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
That defeat came on the back of what has been a slow start to the campaign for Stamford Bridge club, the heavy investment in the likes of Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella and Fofana yielding 10 points from their opening six games. That haul, however, was enough to see them sixth and one place ahead of Liverpool.
