TThomas Tuchel, Chelsea’s embattled manager, was sacked on Wednesday morning after the club’s new owners lost confidence in him.

Matt Law broke the news to Telegraph Sport in a story you can read in full here.

For now, we know that last night’s defeat against Dinamo Zagreb was a straw, but that the German coach would probably be shown the door even if Chelsea won this match.

Anthony Barry, the 36-year-old former first-team coach, is expected to become the new interim manager. However, the club are likely to move quickly in their bid for a new permanent signing.

Graham Potter, Brighton’s widely admired head coach, will be the frontrunner for the job, with Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane and Roger Schmidt other candidates.

Tuchel’s behavior at Chelsea has taken a turn for the worse of late, amid three defeats in the club’s opening seven games of the season.

The decision to part ways with Tuchel will surprise the fans. Just last year, Tuchel led Chelsea to another Champions League title. He achieved that silverware just four months after taking over from Frank Lampard.

Last night, after the defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, questions were swirling on social media about the strength of Tuchel’s position, with many wondering if Roman Abramovich, the former owner of Chelsea, would have already sacked Tuchel.

Tuchel said after last night’s game: “It’s up to me to find a solution and a reason. They obviously are [the Chelsea players] they are individually worse and I actually don’t know where this performance comes from.

“Lack of determination, lack of hunger and lack of intensity to actually do the things we need to do at the highest level. Obviously, we are not where we want to be.”

Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s new owner, seems unwilling to wait for Tuchel to turn things around, meaning the new boss will be in charge of the club’s next game: the Premier League game against Fulham at lunchtime on Saturday.
