Chelsea has fired manager Thomas Tuchel on the new owners’ 100th day in charge after their third defeat of the new season.
Owner Todd Boehly has placed Tuchel’s coaching staff in temporary charge until a replacement is found.
According to the BBC, despite winning three trophies in 20 months, the ownership had plans to fire him anyway, with yesterday’s 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb hastening the decision.
Brighton manager Graham Potter, former Spurs and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino, former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and current Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers are leading the race for the job.
Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League after three wins, one draw and two defeats.
