Chelsea fans have been left stunned by the shock news that the club have sacked manager Thomas Tuchel.
The Blues confirmed that they had relieved the German boss of his duties on Wednesday morning following the 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League last night.
Tuchel departs after 20 months at the helm but just 100 days into Todd Boehly's ownership. Chelsea are currently sixth in the Premier League table after the first six matches of the season.
'This is madness,' one fan wrote on Twitter. 'Pure madness you spent over 300m to sign players from his list only to sack him.'
'Our fanbase is as fickle as they come,' another added. 'People are actually celebrating this. Thomas Tuchel won the Champions League, dealt with sanctions, his personal relationship with his wife broke down while he focused on guiding us through as best he could. It’s mental.'
'We are a joke club,' a third said.
Former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich earned a reputation for having little patience with managers and it appears that Boehly is taking a similar approach.
'Todd Boehly might even be more dangerous and ruthless than Roman Abramovich,' one fan wrote. 'This guy is on a scary mission.'
'Same old Chelsea, new owners no difference,' another said. 'Disappointment.'
