Chelsea owner Todd Boehly informed the players of the imminent sacking of Thomas Tuchel through texts. According to The Daily Star, Boehly sent the Blues' players text messages before parting ways with Tuchel.
The German tactician met with the club's hierarchy at the Cobham training ground on Wednesday morning. As per the report, the former Paris Saint-Germain manager was shocked by the news that he has lost his job despite a poor start to the season.
The Chelsea players reportedly arrived a few hours later for an afternoon training session after each of them received a text message informing the decision to sack Tuchel.
Blues owner Todd Boehly himself addressed the players and offered to answer any questions regarding the decision. Thereafter, he went off to meet Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter, who is reportedly set to succeed Tuchel in the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
The aforementioned report claims that the Blues' 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League was the final straw. But the new owners had concerns about Tuchel's suitability for the job following the club's pre-season tour of the United States.
Todd Boehly did back Tuchel in the transfer market this summer as the Blues splashed out over £250 million on new signings.
Graham Potter in line to become the next Chelsea boss
Brighton & Hove Albion boss Graham Potter is set to be announced as the new Chelsea manager, according to Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports.
Since being appointed by Brighton in 2019, Potter has done an incredible job at the Amex Stadium.
The Seagulls have played an attractive brand of football under the 47-year-old and are currently fourth in the Premier League table with 13 points in six games.
We will have to wait and see whether the former Swansea City manager manages to live up to the expectations at a much bigger club.

the new owners are not serious am so so disappointed. we the fans are not happy at all the way they are managing things they will bring chelsea down from a big club to an ordinary club in the league. Am so disappointed in this man What is it is name Boehly or what he calls is name. What a shame. At times things were difficult this man stood for the club and stabilise the situation now you repay him with this . We miss Abrahamovic a true football germ not this people.

I agree brother Abumayang is trash. You thought Barcelona was selling you gold.. after a couple of washes it turns out he was made from tin the whole time. Barcelona are BANKRUPTED to the bone 🦴. They’ve been sucked dry. And easy sale to pay off the aiding wages of Xavi and the players left holding on for dear life.

we don't need this stupid formation 😤 we need to play offensive football so that our attackers and midfielders can have many chances on the page in every game, and our striker will begin to score like Haaland and lewandowski.
we are sick of seeing our team dominate possession and no goals. Our players will be passing balls left and right without any attempt to score. Other teams will be scoring high number of goals in a match only for Chelsea to be scoring in the average of one goal. We need players who can score screamers outside the box, high pressing games and stop back passing balls in the name of possession

Oh! The reason Tuchel did not see any player at the Cobham training ground as scheduled. I'm still wondering how the players felt when they received the text message. Todd Boehly, I know you felt that you have answered to Tuchel calls by signing him the players he wants, yet he doesn't give the results you expected, but at least you should've exercise a little patient. But still on still...it is what it is. Let pray and hope Graham Potter give you what you want. Best of luck to Graham Potter and all CFC fans. Thank you, Thomas Tuchel for your time at Stamford bridge. Good luck in your next endeavors. CFC faithful would not forget your good work at Stamford bridge. 🖐️🖐️🖐️

For me am just hoping for more attacking from Chelsea. Just running rings around the opponent's like the Chelsea I know. It looks like Potter will bring that after seeing his Brighton trashed The Foxis on Sunday. For the players I believe more then less would have welcomed the news the likes of Chalobah, Zeych , Pulucic and Broja just to name a few. Now they can work to try and impress the new boss.
