A very sad time for layoffs has come for German football coaches. After the defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Thomas Tuchel lost his position. The leadership of the London club announced the resignation from the post of the helmsman of the “blue” the very next day, which shocked not only the fans, but also the specialist himself. According to English insiders, the coach, during an emotional dialogue with Chelsea bosses, asked for another chance. Alas, the Blues' new owners turned a blind eye to the club's past successes under Tuchel and decided they needed another specialist to further develop. It is noteworthy that, according to rumors, the decision to part with the German was made an order of magnitude earlier: the match with Dynamo no longer affected the fate of Thomas. Now, in place of Tuchel, the British are wooing Graham Potter. At the moment, the 47-year-old manager of Brighton, but Chelsea intend to negotiate with the club to lure the coach to them. According to media reports, we are talking about paying a competitor in the Premier League about 14 million euros as compensation.
