Thomas Tuchel was reportedly left "totally shocked" after he was sacked as Chelsea boss on a brutal 10-minute phone call in which he pleaded to be given a second chance.
The German coach was relieved of his duties on Wednesday morning following Chelsea's third straight away defeat, this time at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League Group E fixture.
Tuchel appeared devoid of ideas as he watched a drab Blues display in Croatia on Tuesday night before admitting "everything is missing" from the club at the moment as he pointed the finger of blame firmly in his own direction.
