With new ownership and continous entry and exit at the club, Tuchel’s reign was always going to be under intense scrutiny, and losing a Champions League opener now seem to be the height of it for Todd Boehly.

“Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here.

“Chelsea’s coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation of our upcoming matches as the Club moves swiftly to appoint a new head coach.
“There will be no further comment until a new head coach appointment is made.”
