Boehly sacked Tuchel after he denied him half-time dressing room visit

Chelsea co-owner, Todd Boehly reportedly sacked Thomas Tuchel just days after he was denied the opportunity to take a group of guests into the dressing room.

TalkSPORT reported that this took place in September during Chelsea’s 2-1 win against West Ham at Stamford Bridge.

The match in question was Tuchel’s last as Chelsea manager in the Premier League, with the score level at half-time. It was gathered that Boehly wanted to give a group of guests including children a personal tour at half-time of the game but was denied entry to the dressing room by the manager who was angry with his players.

The American thereafter returned to his seat up in the directors’ box. Tuchel was relieved of his duties just days later after a defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

The German who has since returned to the Bundesliga to manage Bayern Munich was replaced by former Brighton coach, Graham Potter.

The club has now gone down on the league table with Potter also sacked following his inability to get a tune out of a huge squad.

Frank Lampard who was appointed as interim manager, has also gone winless in his first 4 games in charge.

It was also learnt that Boehly has now made going to the dressing room a regular occurrence, with the club in desperate need of an upturn in form from somewhere.

Chelsea are now out of the Champions League and have now shifted their focus to getting more points in the Premier League while searching for a new permanent manager.
