Character mismatch – Todd Boley explains why Thomas Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea

Boeli said that the reason for the German’s dismissal was not the bad results of the last period (in particular, the defeat by Zagreb “Dynamo” in the Champions League groups), but the lack of a common vision for the future of the club.

“When you take on any business, you have to be sure that you are cooperating in every way with the people in that business. Obviously, Tuchel is extremely talented and obviously someone who has been very successful at Chelsea.

Our vision for the club was to find a manager who would really want to work with us. There are a lot of walls to break down at Chelsea. Before the first team and the academy didn’t really share data, they didn’t share information about where the best players came from. Our goal is to unite the club; it should all be a well-oiled machine.

The reality of our decision was that we weren’t sure Thomas saw things the way we did. No one is automatically right or wrong, but we just didn’t have a shared vision for the future. It was not about the defeat in Zagreb, but about the lack of a common vision of what we would like to see Chelsea be like.” – Todd Boley at a press conference held in the USA, the Daily Mail reports.

Chelsea made their Champions League debut as a left-back as the former European champions were beaten 1-0 by Dinamo Zagreb. The defeat cost Tuchel the position of coach, and the German was removed from the team.

Chelsea also won the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup that year.

Tuchel’s sacking came just after the manager marked his 100th appearance on the Chelsea bench. During his reign, the Londoners won 60 times, drew 24 times and lost 16 games.

After six competitive stages, “Chelsea” is in 6th place in the Premier League, having scored 10 points (5 behind the leader “Arsenal”).​
