Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has done a U-turn on his initial Mauricio Pochettino stance as the main alternative to first-choice Graham Potter has been identified.
The Blues are trying to end their quest for a new manager rather quickly after Thomas Tuchel's sacking was made public on Wednesday morning, hours after the Dinamo Zagreb embarrassment in the UEFA Champions League. football.london understands that the loss in Croatia wasn't the main factor in explaining the decision as things going on behind the scene ultimately led to the German's downfall. A statement from the Club reads: "Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with head coach Thomas Tuchel.
"On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club. Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea's history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here. As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the Club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition.
