Todd Boehly spared further Chelsea embarrassment as managerial decision finally pays off

Whilst Chelsea are still searching for a third permanent head coach under the new ownership group, former manager Thomas Tuchel is only able to pick up where he left off, and not in a good way either. The German has been back in management for a little over one month now but has struggled to overturn things from Julian Nagelsmann.

Bayern Munich made the choice to split with the highly-rated 35-year-old after their season faced a critical couple of weeks in the Bundesliga and Champions League. Following a blistering first 45 minutes for Tuchel and his side, going 3-0 up on their way to beating title rivals Borussia Dortmund 4-2, things have gone downhill.

Tuchel has now only seen one win in the last six games with three defeats coming. The German giants are out of Europe and the domestic cup whilst another loss, this time to Mainz, has left them out of control of their own fate in the Bundesliga. Dortmund could go one point clear if they win their game in hand with seven games to play.
