MOSCOW, Sep 14 Chelsea owner Todd Boely said that The dismissal of German coach Thomas Tuchel is due to the fact that the management and the specialist did not have common views on the future of the football club. Chelsea dismissed Tuchel as head coach after losing to Dinamo Zagreb (0:1) in the first round of the group stage Champions League. The Blues' new manager has been Graham Potter, who previously worked at Brighton.
"When you take over the business, you need to make sure you have a connection with the people you work with . Tuchel is incredibly talented and has achieved great success at Chelsea, but our vision for the club was to find a manager who would really want to work with us. It seems to me that in "Chelsea" there are a lot of walls that need to be broken down", Boeli quoted Goal.
«We just weren't sure that Thomas saw the future of the club the way we did. There is no right or wrong, we just didn't have the same vision,” added the owner of Chelsea. After six rounds of the championship of England, Chelsea, which has 10 points, is in sixth place in the standings. Tuchel is 49 years old. He took over at Chelsea in January 2021 and led the Londoners to Champions League victory. The German specialist also won the UEFA Super Cup with the team. Tuchel is the recipient of the 2021 FIFA Best Coach Award.
