Chelsea Fires Thomas Tuchel (The New York Times)

Six days after spending more in a single transfer window than any club in history, Chelsea fired its coach, Thomas Tuchel.

By that stage, Chelsea was under new ownership: Abramovich had been forced to sell the club after he and his businesses were placed under sanctions after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He queried the “level of commitment, physically and mentally” of his players after a 4-0 preseason defeat to Arsenal in Orlando, Fla., a theme that continued into the campaign itself. His team, he said after losing to Southampton, was “not tough enough.” Though Chelsea had been operating at an eye-watering loss under Abramovich, Boehly and Clearlake’s co-founder, Behdad Eghbali, have continued to pour money into the club. The club is currently sixth in the Premier League table, five points adrift of first-place Arsenal.

Chelsea fires coach Thomas Tuchel after poor start to season (New Zealand Herald)

Thomas Tuchel was fired by Chelsea today, only one month into the season and just days after the club concluded a Europe-high spending spree of nearly ...

Tuchel was in charge for a year and a half, winning the Champions League only six months into his tenure. That came in a period where Chelsea was changing ownership after Roman Abramovich was forced to put the London club on the market after being sanctioned by the British government for what it called his enabling of Russian President Vladimir Putin's "brutal and barbaric invasion" of Ukraine. Chelsea has lost two of its first six games — to Leeds and Southampton — in an underwhelming start to the Premier League that has seen the club's new signings fail to gel.
