According to talkSPORT via GOAL, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly sacked Thomas Tuchel after the German tactician denied him access to the dressing at half-time during Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over West Ham early in the season.
The report adds: “With visits to the Chelsea dressing room becoming more frequent with the club desperately struggling for form, talkSPORT have reported that co-owner Boehly tried the tactic as early as September when Tuchel was still in charge of the club.
“This incident stood out, however, because it came at half-time of an intense 2-1 win over West Ham, as the American was denied entry by the infuriated head coach.
“The report claims that Boehly – who co-owns the club alongside Behdad Eghbali – wanted to give a group of guests including children a personal tour at half-time of the game. Tuchel denied the request, however, to the surprise of the American.
“It clearly did the head coach no favours as a tricky start to the season had him in hot water with the new owners, before being sacked just a game later and replaced by Graham Potter.”
