Todd Boehly ignores Antonio Rudiger's Chelsea plea as Thomas Tuchel sacked amid Potter talks

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has ignored Antonio Rudiger's plea for the Blues to change their managerial sacking culture after Thomas Tuchel's exit.

Graham Potter is being lined up as Tuchel's successor with the Brighton manager currently in London to hold talks regarding the vacant managerial position at Stamford Bridge, football.london understands. Chelsea earned a reputation for changing managers on a regular basis under the previous ownership model implemented by Roman Abramovich.

Boehly's decision to sack Tuchel from his position as Blues' boss was not a knee-jerk one with tensions having been built up throughout the summer transfer window between the co-owner and manager. The west London outfit are hoping to have a new head coach in place for the clash against Fulham at the weekend, and Potter looks set to be Boehly's choice.
