Thomas Tuchel's controversial Chelsea sacking explained amid huge Graham Potter claim

Chelsea co-owner Jonathan Goldstein revealed a lack of 'harmony' between Thomas Tuchel and the Chelsea board. The Blues' new ownership group decided to sack Tuchel last month following Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

Tuchel's sacking came as a surprise given his success during his time at Stamford Bridge, winning the Champions League, a Super Cup, a Club World Cup and reaching back-to-back FA Cup finals and a League Cup final. However, the decision to sack him had been made before the Zagreb defeat, with issues arising between Tuchel and the ownership group during the pre-season tour of America.
