Todd Boehly blasted by Bundesliga chief over Thomas Tuchel sacking after £270m transfer overhaul

Todd Boehly has been heavily criticised by Bundesliga chief Christian Heidel for the sacking of Thomas Tuchel. The American billionaire made the decision to dismiss the head coach following Chelsea's defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in their UEFA Champions League opener.

Tuchel's sacking also follows significant backing from Boehly, who invested around £270million on new signings with the help of the German. The Blues welcomed eight players - one of whom has returned to their former club on loan and another who's arrived on loan - to the club this summer.

The aforementioned fee was spent on signing Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Denis Zakaria (loan fee).
