Thomas Tuchel has been sacked after only six games in the Premier League and a poor defeat last night in their opening Champions League group fixture against Dinamo Zagreb.
Chelsea have struggled on the pitch, under-performing far too often, even after a transfer window that seen them spend over £250m.
JJ Bull and Liam Twomey discuss just why Tuchels time at Chelsea has come to an end.

It looked to me in the Zagreb game like the Tuchel had lost the locker room. No offense to the Croatian minnows, but they are among the 3 worst teams in the competition. Pitch was fine, and Chelsea even got Kovacic back. Chelsea should have won that game confortably even after the early set back goal. But Chelsea looked devoid of ideas and confidence going forward.

Unimpressed with Boehly and Co so far. Transfer window was totally mishandled, helped destabilize the squad. Got rid of upper management without replacing it. Sloppy work. It did seem like Tuchel had lost the dressing room, and had done so for a while. Given the circumstances at the club, though, he did well and will be missed.

@markvargus6519 Жыл бұрын

I suspect that the upper management situation is a shift in the structure. Todd Boehly has a background where he owns several American sports clubs (LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, LA Spark, Cloud9). Once he purchased Chelsea and got a look at the structure he probably wanted to change it to something closer if not identical to what has worked for the LA Dodgers- MLB (been in the playoffs every year since 2013, 3 world series appearances and 1 win in the last 7 years) and the LA Lakers (one of the most recognized and valuable teams in the NBA). So there will be new people replacing those lost, but probably with different titles. Honestly, while its not ideal that its taking time to refill those positions, its completely understandable and from the viewpoint of an American who has watched a lot of team turmoil over the last 20 years, its not something to stress over.

Football is more than just tactics, it's about people, humans, everything just seemed so tense between everyone for both the staff and the player's, heck if I was Tuchel, I would've resigned much sooner, there's just no way around the results and the dressing room, once those are gone, so are you.

The Thing is there us a lot of speculation that he has lost the changingroom but there is hardly any proof. And I actually doubt that this is the case. I mean we ar talking about a man who managed psgs changingroom sucessfully. He is probably the only persion in the world who managed to make Neymar work for the defens. (At psg he was sacked because of persional issues with the bosses and not because he lost connection to the players). I think he is just a pain to work with and the new bosses didn‘t like that and it hurt their ego so they fired him. And honestly I think that will have a longterm negative effect for chelsea.

Many people are saying that Chelsea regressed in recent months but when you look at the team, it overall just isn’t as good as it was before, even with the reinforcements. Most of their “expensive signings” only came in at the end of the transfer window which means they’ve barely even had a handful of games to get used to the squad, whilst important players like Mendy and Sterling are completely out of form. The midfield has lost Kante to injury which means there’s no real defensive midfield cover, which is why they’ve been forced to play with 5 at the back to compensate. Chelsea also missed out on nearly all of their first choice transfers, which means that the expensive signings they DID get were more out of desperation to plug holes rather than carefully planned and calculated transfers made months in advance. If Tuchel has lost the dressing room then you can’t do much about that, but Tuchel is undoubtedly a world-class manager tactically who’s about as good as Chelsea can really get right now.

Also tbh the signings this summer were clearly made by someone who not really knows what football is about he got players not fitting into his system (same thing last year with lukaku) which likely is why there were problems with the new owners And yeah from december on they had problems but i mean with all the things around the pitch i wouldnt wonder

It's so strange to me that the management didn't think let's try and make it work with Tuchel, let's put a system in place that allows him and the team to flourish. How many other elite managers are available now? If it didn't work after this season then fair enough you part ways. It basically looks like they're looking long-term but haven't really done any planning for what the structure will be behind the manager. I love Potter, who doesn't, but if the owners think he can come in and be incredibly successful I think they're a bit naive. Potter is clearly a brilliant manager, but the structure behind him at Brighton is equally brilliant, they work beautifully well in tandem. At Chelsea, at least at the moment the way it seems, is that it's a shitshow. But who knows, maybe this will be a masterstroke lol

@hmst2434 Жыл бұрын

From what’s been reported, it seems like their working relationship was also a reason why he got sacked. Tuchel preferred a more detached approach while the owners wants a manger who will engage more with them and other departments. I think Boehly wants to establish a long term and stable project so it was important to make sure they get right manager for that structure and I think Potter is perfect. Considering how well run the Dodgers are, I think Boehly will hire the right people and establish a good structure. They’ve only just bought the club and they were in a buffer period where they had to sack members from the old regime who had a different approach to managing a club. It’s been a little hectic and I think they’ve done alright with the signings they’ve made considering the situation. Also worth to mention that potters back room staff is quite important to Brighton’s structure as well,particularly his recruitment analyst, Kyle Mcauley who looks to be following Potter to Chelsea.

The most brain dead sacking in a long time. Yeah sure Chelsea have been regressing since the beginning of the year, but what was he supposed to do? A new owner comes in, who can't give Tuchel any of the signings he needed. Add to that Tuchel needed to act as a director and coach during the summer for the transfers which should never happen. Most of the signings chelsea needed only arrived towards the end of the window and even then they still lack some players. The squad is unbalanced, to the point it will be impressive if they can secure top 4 this season with Arsenal and Spurs improving massively and backing their managers. Not to mention, who are you gonna replace Tuchel with? The only managers better than him are Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti. Other managers who could be available would be a downgrade. Tuchel proved PSG wrong in sacking him after leading that lacking squad to a UCL final, he will do the same with Chelsea no doubt.

That's a new one. Most of the time you hear managers bemoan the fact they dont have enough say about transfers, not the other way round. But this sacking has been on the cards. He's not been able to solve the chance creation problems that goes beyond the start of this season. And things seems to have gotten worse since last season. If he's a coaching first manager, its kinda damning that he's been unable to get the best out of any of the attackers, Pulisic, Werner, Lukaku, Kai, Ziyech etc.

I'm not saying it's justified but if you've watched ANY Chelsea matches this season you'd notice that our attack is completely toothless.

Imagine how the one who has been telled off at the eyes of millions felt when Tuchel, for example did. That creates lot of stress and tension between coach and players. Hope this is the right decission. The best for Tuchel and very welcome Potter.

What I find odd with Chelsea is if they think they're gonna fix this then they actually need to give the next manager time which would be very anti Chelsea. It is also odd from the board who gave the manager £250m to spend. So a new manager comes in with players he may not necessarily want.

@James-fb9wn Жыл бұрын

Theres only a few players that a manager wouldn't want in any circumstances, jorginho because he's too slow for the PL, Havertz because he (weirdly) has an outdated position that doesn't fly anymore. Other than that, we have a very talented team, with good depth and a very strong academy including new young signings. It's still a very attractive proposition

@SirEEf13 Жыл бұрын

Yes giving a manager time would be anti Chelsea but Todd Boehly is not Abramowitch so some things are destined to change. Todd Boehly has been working with the LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts since 2016 and reports say he wants something similar at Chelsea. If I had to guess I´d say the next Chelsea manager will be here for a while, even if that means that there will be a season where Chelsea plays in the conference league.

He won a UCL and Worlds Best Coach and was then sacked after 6 games sitting a point above Liverpool. The owner also forced so many overpriced signings on him which definitely weren't Tuchel backed 100%.

The final product so far is way better than when he started, though obviously they still have a ways to go. Klopp got similar patience. Arteta could easily been sacked after the 0-3 start last season but the patience was rewarded. Certainly you need 10/15 games to get 273 million worth of new players adjusted and comfortable with a new system?

That was not always the case. Even when those same unnamed forwards played well, they got dropped and then brought back on the field out of position as Wing back. Pulisic is a great example. He was dropped from the starting 11 after playing well and scoring goals. When dropped from the 11, Tuchel said he understand it's not fair and that other players deserve to play too. Then he started playing Pulisic out of position and his performance dropped. Even called Pulisic a super sub when doing well off the bench.

What people don't seems to understand is that Boehly is a man of his words. He said he gave Tuchel full control of transfer, done. And Chelsea got great players because Tuchel were still there. But at the same time with how things went The board and Boehly doesn't see Tuchel as future since Tuchel doesn't really rate young players for example he doesn't rate Broja and bought Auba, and don't have plan for Gilmour in his team. Also the young players that just came haven't got opportunity. While the new board vision is to build for the long future and in this youngsters.
