Former Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has broken silence after he was sacked and replaced with Graham Potter, Brighton’s former manager.
The German, who led the Blues to Champions League glory in 2021, was fired on Wednesday, a day after the team lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb.
In a social media post on Sunday, Tuchel noted he was “devastated” for he never saw the sack letter coming.
He said:
“This is one of the most difficult statements I have ever had to write – and it is one which I hoped I would not need to do for many years. I am devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end.
“This is a club where I felt at home, both professionally and personally. Thank you so much to all the staff, the players and the supporters for making me feel very welcome from the start.”
Tuchel, also the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund boss was sacked from Chelsea by co-owner, Todd Boehly.
