When Thomas Tuchel acknowledged Chelsea's suppoters in the stands of Stadion Maksimir, few people knew it would be for the last time. Even those calling for his head amid faltering performances and frustrated press conferences perhaps did not expect the call so soon, just one week following the end of the transfer window.
