Chelsea Fires Thomas Tuchel (The New York Times)

Six days after spending more in a single transfer window than any club in history, Chelsea fired its coach, Thomas Tuchel.

By that stage, Chelsea was under new ownership: Abramovich had been forced to sell the club after he and his businesses were placed under sanctions after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He queried the “level of commitment, physically and mentally” of his players after a 4-0 preseason defeat to Arsenal in Orlando, Fla., a theme that continued into the campaign itself. His team, he said after losing to Southampton, was “not tough enough.” Though Chelsea had been operating at an eye-watering loss under Abramovich, Boehly and Clearlake’s co-founder, Behdad Eghbali, have continued to pour money into the club. The club is currently sixth in the Premier League table, five points adrift of first-place Arsenal.

Potter es el primer favorito para ocupar el puesto de entrenador del Chelsea, ya que su actual club le ha dado permiso para mantener conversaciones. Los Blues pagaron 81 millones por Wesley Fofana, 65 por Marc Cucurella, 56 por Raheem Sterling y 38 por Kalidou Koulibaly, compras principales que tuvieron el claro objetivo de rearmar su línea defensiva. Se suponía que Tuchel tendría al menos tiempo para arreglar las cosas, a pesar de las derrotas ante el Southampton y el Leeds United. El nuevo propietario del Chelsea, Todd Boehly, que lleva pocos meses al frente del equipo, ha sorprendido a la Premier League despidiendo a su entrenador, Thomas Tuchel, pasados solamente siete partidos de la temporada.

Chelsea Abruptly Fires Thomas Tuchel From the Squad It Built for Him (Sports Illustrated)

Yet just 33 days into the season, in the wake of Tuesday's 1–0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb to open the Champions League group stage, Tuchel has been sacked.

Boehly, meanwhile, apparently struggling with the role of sporting director in a world in which he had no experience, is said to have felt Tuchel could have been clearer in explaining his thinking and could have done more to help land transfers—something that was particularly apparent in the failure to land Raphinha and, to a lesser extent, the disagreement over Koundé. There’s not a huge amount more a manager could do to impress at a club of that stature, but it’s hard to think of many clubs more different than Chelsea and Brighton, in terms of squad, backroom support and expectation. Only in the first half against Tottenham was there any real sense of Tuchel rediscovering the heights of the first half of last season—and even that game ended up in a draw. And it was Tuchel who, repeatedly, vetoed the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. It was Tuchel who wanted to get rid of Romelu Lukaku, who was loaned out to Inter. It was Tuchel whose skepticism about Jules Koundé led to the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly instead.

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea sacking – the inside story told from both ... (The Athletic)

A detached manager, divides with the new owners and isolated players led to Chelsea sacking Thomas Tuchel. Though his version differs...

Over the course of his conversations with the player and his representatives, the Chelsea co-owner displayed detailed knowledge of Potter’s career: his spectacular rise and European adventures with Swedish club Ostersund, his season at [Swansea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/swansea-city/) and his more recent impressive work at the Amex Stadium. Sources close to the leadership have told The Athletic that this period of time was earmarked from the start as the stage for a comprehensive review of every aspect of the club. Feeding into Tuchel’s shock at being sacked on Wednesday was his belief that he and Chelsea had agreed the framework of a new long-term contract that was due to be signed later this month. But the extensive time that Boehly and Eghbali spent around the squad throughout pre-season and in the early weeks of the new campaign opened their eyes to the problems on the ground. He was eventually granted a permanent transfer back to [RB Leipzig](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leipzig/) at a reduced price. The former head coach was surprised when told about the possibility of Werner joining [Newcastle United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/newcastle-united/) on a cut-price deal. [Inter](https://theathletic.com/football/team/inter/) on loan terms highly favourable to the [Serie A](https://theathletic.com/football/serie-a/) club but some close to the Belgian believe he would have been far more open to staying at Chelsea if he had known Tuchel would be leaving. That even extends to Aubameyang, whose much-anticipated reunion with the man who unlocked him at [Borussia Dortmund](https://theathletic.com/football/team/dortmund/) lasted a grand total of 59 minutes in Zagreb. [Brighton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/brighton-and-hove-albion/) head coach Graham Potter was having breakfast with his players ahead of a training session at the Amex Stadium. He later reversed his position but then felt frustrated when Chelsea’s owners did not pursue the deal and Jesus, who was very keen to move to Stamford Bridge, joined [Arsenal](https://theathletic.com/football/team/arsenal/) instead. Understanding how Chelsea’s new owners settled on this drastic and ruthless course of action requires a closer look at the sequence of events that led to this point — a remarkable story that includes: His initial reaction to being summoned to a conference call and relieved of his duties early the next morning was a mixture of shock and disappointment.
