Chelsea’s American owner Todd Boehly said sacking manager Thomas Tuchel last week had nothing to do with losing to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League but was because the German did not share the same vision for the club.
Tuchel, who won the Champions League for Chelsea in 2021 just months after being hired to replace Frank Lampard, was sacked on Wednesday after a 1-0 defeat in Croatia.
Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter replaced Tuchel on Thursday — the first managerial appointment under Boehly who led a consortium that completed a £4.25 billion ($4.91 billion) takeover of Chelsea in May.
