Could this also be that the sacking is because Tuchel resently criticised Chelsea’s “huge underperformance” in the Champions League group match, saying his side lacked “hunger and intensity” in the shock 1-0 loss at Dinamo Zagreb.
“I’m angry on myself,” he said. “I’m angry on our performance. It’s not aggressive enough on the ball, it’s not enough individually or enough as a team. Thomas Tuchel signed an initial 18-month deal in January to replace Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge back in January 2021.
Tuchel won the Champions League in his first season in charge and served as manager for a year and a half.
