CHELSEA HAVE PARTED company with head coach Thomas Tuchel following last nightโs Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.
The Premier League club insists itโs โthe right time to make this transitionโ as the new ownership group โ led by Todd Boehly โ begin the search for a new boss barely a month into the season.
In a statement released on the Chelsea website, they explained: โOn behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club.
โThomas will rightly have a place in Chelseaโs history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here.
โAs the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition.
โChelseaโs coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation of our upcoming matches as the Club moves swiftly to appoint a new head coach.
โThere will be no further comment until a new head coach appointment is made.โ
โRocheโs goal is the not only better than Robin van Persieโs and James Rodriguezโs, they argue, but itโs also harder to recreateโ
Great goal and all and im aure she is a quality player but come on she scored it against wexford youths womens team.
Not Spain or Uruguay in a world cup.
Not saying i could score a goal like that cause i couldnt kick my way out of a paper bag
But you will see a goal of its calibre at any astroturf around the country.
I canโt wait for her not to win it so we donโt have to keep hearing about it
I hope she wears a nice dress for the awards night.
