Mainz sporting director Christian Heidel has slammed Chelsea’s decision to sack Thomas Tuchel.

The new Chelsea owners decided to sack Thomas Tuchel just seven games into the season for Chelsea.

According to Heidel, Todd Boehly doesn’t know what he’s doing, as he claims the decision wasn’t a football decision.

“With Thomas it came out of the blue,” Hiedel told BILD.

“The sacking is grist to the mill of those who are against investors in football. It was purely an investor’s decision.

“Someone who has no idea about football probably thought that sixth place wasn’t good enough for him and said, ‘then let’s try another coach.’

“After only six games, I can’t think of any other reason. But Chelsea will bitterly regret this decision – they won’t get such a good coach again so quickly.”
