Chelsea owner Todd Boehly proved he has "no idea about football" by sacking Thomas Tuchel and will live to "bitterly regret" his decision, according to one of the latter's former colleagues.
The Blues dismissed Tuchel on Wednesday morning, 12 hours after they were beaten 1-0 by Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League fixture. The Stamford Bridge club sit sixth in the Premier League table after an underwhelming start to the season and club chiefs moved quickly to replace him with Graham Potter.
Many pundits criticised the decision to sack Tuchel, who led Chelsea to the Champions League title in 2021 and FIFA Club World Cup glory earlier this year. Despite a tepid start to the 2022/23 campaign, the German remains highly-regarded and will have little trouble finding a new role at one of Europe's elite clubs.
