Thomas Tuchel gives Graham Potter Chelsea sack verdict amid Julian Nagelsmann message

Thomas Tuchel has given his stance on Graham Potter being sacked by Chelsea on Sunday night after the English boss lasted just seven months in charge following his appointment. Potter took over swiftly from Tuchel in September but struggled to impose himself on the club with a bloated squad, injuries and large turnover making it a far from ideal environment to work in.

The German boss himself, who set extremely high standards for anyone following him in the job, had his own issues with the atmosphere and circumstances that were thrust upon him over pre-season and into the start of the campaign. His axing from new owners Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital didn't hold him back though with Bayern Munich moving to appoint him last week.

Tuchel has already made an immediate impact too, winning his first match in charge 4-2 against nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. At the same time Potter was watching the final minutes of his Chelsea reign.
