Todd Boehly has opted to not part with Chelsea tradition after ruthlessly sacking Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday.
Roman Abramovic h developed a reputation for chopping and changing managers with unerring regularity during his 19 years at Stamford Bridge. Tuchel was the Russian’s final appointment, replacing Frank Lampard and guiding the Blues to the Champions League less than six months later.
But just seven competitive matches into the Boehly era, the new Chelsea custodian has wielded the axe, relieving Tuchel of his duties following the 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb. “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,” an official statement read.
