Thomas Tuchel's reasons for snubbing Barcelona and Man Utd come back to haunt him

Former Chelsea manager may be regretting his shows of loyalty to the club after being sacked by owner Todd Boehly on Wednesday.

The former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund boss was dismissed off the back of a 1-0 Champions League loss away to Dinamo Zagreb. His team had also lost two of their first six Premier League matches after Boehly took over from Roman Abramovich in May.

Tuchel's impressive start last season had the London side sitting top of the Premier League after 14 games, prompting interest at various points from Barcelona and Manchester United. He opted to stay at Stamford Bridge, though, and the decision looks to have come back to haunt him.
