Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea disagreement before harsh phone call left him "totally shocked"

Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel clashed with Todd Boehly over the need to sign new midfielders before he was brutally sacked, it has been claimed.

Plenty has changed at Stamford Bridge since Coehly and Clearlake Capital completed their purchase of the club back in May; including in the dugout, where Tuchel has been replaced by former Brighton chief Graham Potter.

There have also been significant changes to Chelsea's playing squad since Tuchel's shock departure back in September.
