Thomas Tuchel says Potter’s sack ‘did not trigger big emotions’ in him

Ever since Todd Boehly became the owner of Chelsea about a year ago, he has been conducting business in a way that is unusual in football circles.

He abruptly fired Thomas Tuchel in September, and he abruptly fired his replacement yesterday.

Graham Potter found it difficult to influence the Chelsea players and was unable to produce results on the pitch; after only seven months in the position, it was inevitable to fire him.

The Blues sporting department are working actively to find his replacement and, in the meantime, have installed one of his assistants Bruno Saltor as the interim boss.

According to Sky Sports, former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann, whom former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel replaced last week, is the favourite to be the new head coach at Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel speaks on Potter’s sack

Tuchel began his tenure at Bayern with a 4-2 win over his former club Borussia Dortmund and faces a tricky tie against SC Freiburg in the DFB Pokal tomorrow.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game, he was asked about the vacant managerial role at Chelsea.

His response suggested he would have re-taken the job if he were unemployed, according to Mirror UK.

“I saw the news very late last night. The timing coincided with my appointment here. I really enjoyed working there and formed friendships for life.

But the club has changed a lot, so it didn’t really trigger big emotions in me,” he said.

Former Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain Mauricio Pochettino and former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique are the other top two leading candidates considered for the job.

Potter linked to Leicester job

Sports Brief reported that Graham Potter is linked to Leicester City job after the club also parted ways with head coach Brendan Rodgers yesterday.

In a shocking development, the Foxes appreciate Potter and could make a move for him in the coming days.

There have been 13 managerial sackings in the Premier League this season.
