Chelsea fire manager Thomas Tuchel just seven games into the new season, hours after they suffer a Champions League defeat against Dinamo Zagreb
Tuchel is the second Premier League manager to be fired this season after Bournemouth sacked Scott Parker last week.
The English Premier League side said they would move "swiftly" to appoint a replacement, with former Tottenham and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino and Brighton manager Graham Potter among the early favourites. The Stamford Bridge club, bought by Todd Boehly's consortium in late May, defended the timing of the decision, which is understood to have been made before the loss in Croatia.
"Too much to analyse," he said. "I'm a part of it. We are clearly not there, where we need to be and where we can be. So it's on me, it's on us, we need to find solutions."
