Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly says a lack of shared vision with Thomas Tuchel led to the decision to sack the German as head coach.
It was last Wednesday – less than 12 hours after the Blues had been beaten by Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League – that Tuchel was called into a meeting at Cobham with Boehly and Behdad Eghbali and told he would no longer remain in charge at Chelsea.
The news came as a shock to the 49-year-old coach, who in his 19 months in charge oversaw a Champions League win, a UEFA Super Cup success, and a maiden Club World Cup triumph. And Blues supporters were disappointed to see Tuchel depart given the success achieved and how he guided the club through government sanctions and a takeover in the spring.
