The team will be temporarily led by assistants. The club confirmed this information on its website. “The club is grateful to Thomas and his team for everything they have done for the club. They will rightly be indelibly written in the history of Chelsea. But the owners believe that the time has come for a change so that the club can continue to move forward,” said a statement on the club’s website. Tuchel arrived at Chelsea in January 2021 during the era of long-term owner Roman Abramovich. After a few months with the Blues, he won the Champions League and then the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

And the new owners, after a failed start to the season, soon resorted to changing the coach. Tuchel was dismissed after coaching the hundredth competitive duel on the bench of the London team. The former coach of PSG or Dortmund led Chelsea, in addition to success on the international stage, to third and fourth place in the Premier League and also to the finals of the English and League Cups, in which he failed three times in total. Unsuccessful start to the season Chelsea is currently in sixth place after six rounds of the Premier League. She won only three times out of seven competitive duels and followed up on the unconvincing results from the end of last season. The club stated that it will not comment further on the situation until a new head coach is appointed. Already on Saturday, Chelsea is waiting for the derby on the field of Fulham.
