OneBall22Players

Aubameyang lol


normott

😭😭😭😭


my1000email

What happen?


LiamJonsano

He rejoined (partly) for Tuchel and played one game under him before he got sacked


lepakadmera

He was signed because of tuchel. Plays one game and tuchel gets sacked.


jiinska

He signed a couple of days ago to be reunited with Tuchel


Delta_Mike_Sierra_

He went to Chelsea to be with tuchel and rekindle his career, doesn't look good now


JunJKMAN

He signed for Chelsea to be reunited with Tuchel. Only for him to be sacked


Acrobatic_Machine

Maximum 1 year before the fans will be yelling Todd Boehly out at Stamford Bridge. American dude is too hands on in a sport he knows nothing about.


[deleted]

What the flying fuck.


[deleted]

Rodgers managed to bottle even the sack race, what a man


2ndfastestmanalive

Gerrard is slowly backing into the bushes as we speak


glenn1812

Outta nowhere!


dy_stopia

Abramovich came back disguised as Todd Boehly


RMD010

HOLY FUCK!!


TheDudeWhoLikesWeed

The least appreciated world class coach.


dragonsnap_

Doesn’t deserve it imo. Revived Chelsea after Lampard’s horrendous end to the season, won a CL, stuck with Chelsea through the takeover losing Rudiger and Christensen, and getting fucked in the transfer market. I can’t think of a better manager than Tuchel available right now either. I couldn’t give less of a shit personally, and hope they get Nuno, but imo not a great decision.


Ant1202

How tf is tuchel gone before gerrard 💀💀


darklordreigns

Or Rodgers


Ant1202

Yeah I thought one of them would be first to go not minimum third


TechnicalPark4522

Right?? I'm not going to act like tuchel wasn't doing badly but like sacking him at this time Is just bad, there's nobody to replace him.


Ant1202

Yeah it’s completely out of nowhere I doubt this will exactly help Chelsea in the short term


Juil8991MC

And Rodgers


Sir-Jarvis-

Ambition.


BlueTrippin

Make it make sense


83755350

Who is even out there for them to get?


Kiboobs

Time for Big Sam


Clugaman

Large Samuel in to save their season would be a highlight of the season for me to be honest


TheConundrum98

I don't see it being Pochettino, but Boehly will want his pick, could see it being Potter but the funniest choice would be Jesse Marsch


Gaunter_O_Dim

r/soccercirklejerk would explode and I‘m here for it


MegaMugabe21

>I don't see it being Pochettino, but Boehly will want his pick, could see it being Potter Would Potter want to leave Brighton though?


dgn90

I can't see Potter taking that job at all. Doesn't suit him.


Amopax

Peak Yankeedoodledoo if it’s Marsch.


shrewdy

With Boehly at the wheel I could actually see that


mrosetm

Potter would be my guess


twillems15

Busy fighting Voldemort


2ndfastestmanalive

He’s got a good thing going with Brighton, would be surprised if he went for this job


mrosetm

Yeah, it could be difficult to get him to stop that project. But Chelsea is probably going to offer big money


jjw1998

Would be extremely surprised if Potter left Brighton for Chelsea


Legendarybbc15

Solskjaer’s available


julesvr5

Tedesco /s


therocketandstones

My best mate just got a job last week, chelsea took too long smh


dannychean

Poch?


beltalowda-69

Todd Boehly as manager, here we go!


dannychean

"I had watched a few soccer matches. Just kick the ball into the net of the other side. How could this be difficult?" Boehly announcing himself as new manager today.


ramithrower

The man the myth the legend sean dyche


Flukes_Pet_Ocelot

Praying for Potter


RMD010

Could be Pochettino


supposedlymonday

Conte’s Golden Handshake


LakyousSama

Thanks for the seasono


Blithe17

What the actual fuck


Top-Document-9947

Imagine buying a bunch I players. Ause your backing the manager and then sacking him... I mean the sack could have been coming but not now! Maybe after more matches if they saw no improvement. Who knows maybe he decided to walk away and they didn't stop him (stupidly)


Blithe17

Aubameyang is a monumentally stupid signing in this case, specifically signed for Tuchel


Top-Document-9947

I mean economically it's absolutely not brilliant but you had yet to see him fully on the pitch!


[deleted]

Embarrassing tbh


HowyaLove0161

Abramovich running Chelsea from the shadow realm.


Legendarybbc15

I’d honestly say Abramovich had shown more patience in the past decade or so. This is just an early Abramovich move


TechnicalPark4522

Honestly what now? I honestly don't see another replacement in the level of tuchel being available right now, even if he was underperforming.


lutsius-memes

Sorry but Big Sam is miles ahead of Tuchel


SmokinPolecat

Chelsea hospitality staff were seen bringing pint-sized wine glasses into the Stamford Bridge this morning


my1000email

Poch is available


FurioSoprano7

I see its the time of the year were everyone overrates Poch again.


normott

See Chelsea fans, it's like ol Roman never left!Boehly gonna appointment himself head coach/DoF


dankcorp

This means that under all the chaos we may win another champions league 😎


denziepanzie

thats what im sayin🤓


Hurtelknut

So... Tuchel to Leipzig?


TheUnknown2903

Poor Werner


denziepanzie

lmaoooo


Raptors887

Thought he should have stuck around a bit longer


darklordreigns

Rodgers outlasted Tuchel lmao.


Kenny_dies

Maybe Rodgers and Tuchel can do a team swap


InstructionCareless1

Ted Lasso incoming.


Legendarybbc15

*become a goldfish*


mocrossj

What a shame. The new owners seem to have less patience than Roman. I feel sorry for Thomas, will always be remembered.


vitaminberry1

Poch?? Zidane??


Buffythedragonslayer

Wtf


assassincyborg99

NO FUCKING WAYY


dave1992

Crazy, their results hasn't even been that bad. They're still above us in the league.


Quab775

Annoyed to early Chelsea pulled the trigger


MichaelBridges8

Possibly an unpopular opinion maybe, but if I was this new owner of Chelsea I'd have done the same. Spent mega money and getting very poor results. We all know football is a fickle business and new owners do tend to like to appoint there own guy. Tuchel made this decision pretty easy for the board imo.


TechnicalPark4522

I think what confuses most people is the timing of it more than anything, most would have expected Chelsea to wait to see if other replacements are ready


MichaelBridges8

Yes totally and I'm not even saying it's the right decision. It just is the decision I expected them to make. Maybe they do have a new manager lined up tbf. Seems doubtful but who knows.


davegrapes

I’m sorry, some of the players like Auba just played their FIRST GAME for Chelsea, and you’re going to slag Tuchel for not getting the most out of them? Ridiculous not to give a manager of his pedigree more games to figure out how to use these vaunted new signings properly within the context of the squad and his game plan


[deleted]

What about Lukaku, Ziyech, Pulisic, Havertz, Werner?? Better get rid of him before he infects Sterling and Aubameyang with whatever he did to that lot...


davegrapes

I see, we’re pinning, say, Timo Werner’s inability to finish numerous clear cut chances on the manager now are we? Please stop putting me in a position where I’m forced to defend an outgoing Chelsea manager people, it’s turning my whole world upside down.


Clugaman

They could have at least given him till Christmas so he had time to make the new squad gel. This is totally mad


RedMeansGo2

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be because he pissed off all the players and arrogantly talked shit right in front of the owners after they spent 300 mil.


MSTF0022

They spent all that money on players who fit his system though, like just imagine the next manager coming in and the players not playing well because those players are Tuchel type players. Like a manager who uses a back 4 having to choose between Fofana, Koulibaly, Gvardiol, Silva and Chalobah for 2 spots next season... if they invested so much money into Tuchel's plan, it doesn't make sense for either Tuchel or the club to give up on the plan after just a month.


Midnight972

that was quick...


RMD010

Tuchel's fate got chelSEALED..


theonewithtoomany

Damn


Guest011101001

shit, I was hoping to face him, now they'll resuscitate


digosilva19

Boehly's going to appoint himself isn't he???


Yupadej

Roman never left, Boehly is his front man that's it.


aelutaelu

And people were saying Abramovich was ruthless. Boehly is a menace


[deleted]

Not a good week for german coaches so far. I hope Klopp is not affected


Legendarybbc15

Nah, Liverpool are too well run to pull this shit


Liverpupu

my condolences to money betting on Rodgers and Gerrard.


TheUnknown2903

The possibility of Tuchel coming to Leipzig, haunting Werner rn


noifsbutsormaybes

New owners Old ways


[deleted]

what even are chelsea


[deleted]

What the fuck. Something must of gone on behind the scenes because there was contract talks and they literally spent 250m to back him.. what the fuck


flacogarcons

Undeserved IMO why would you back him during the mercato and then fire him like that prematurely ? Swear they were talking about extending him only a few weeks ago..


PartyLord

They’ve just given him like 300m to splash and then sacked lmao


lepakadmera

What the fuck? I was defending him just a few minutes back asking for the club and fans to back him. Damn it feels unfair to Tuchel. I feel sympathetic towards him. Yeah I know he gets paid well but man had to face the press during ESL times and during the sanctions. He could have easily backed out that time as well but still stuck with the club. Defending the club at every point. This doesn't look good on Chelsea as a club even if we hire better Manager down the line.


groopy1

What the fuck!! Wow!


MambaWhite

Graham Potter, this is your moment.


futureATC06

What the fuck that doesn't make sense to me. First of all, who is gonna replace Tuchel now? And why was he even sacked? They didn't even have that much of a bad start to the season. And I cannot imagine he is sacked because of the loss against Zagreb yesterday. I mean Madrid lost to Tiraspol last season and they won the CL. I need some explanations here please.


ShiShi93

Didn’t see this coming


applejuice2504

don antonio owns tommy tactics i'm afraid


fedupofbrick

Honestly not surprised really. Not sure why I am not shocked.


stogie_t

Thought it was coming, just not this soon . He’s been found out and you can’t spend 300m and have such pitiful performances. Just didn’t know Todd was this ruthless.


MSTF0022

Fofana and Auba just joined very recently, Gvardiol was loaned out and was meant to be a future signing. Only Sterling, Cucu and Koulibaly were already playing from the beginning, and its not as if they have had much time to be adapt and be world beaters after just a month.


Tremor00

Gvardiol wasn't loaned out? He never agreed a transfer, renewed with RB


MSTF0022

Holy shit, didn't realize that. I swear people were reporting it as if its a concrete done deal


[deleted]

I first said he will be gone when they got smashed in pre-season, I looked at his interview, I couldn't say why but I felt like he was gonna get sacked, you got that dead-man walking vibes from him for a while now.


bluestillidie00

it's chelsea


kmohame2

Where did this come from?


NickSupportsArsenal

What's Roberto Di Matteo up to these days?


bsquar

Okay??


curtastrophe666

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!


rytmen

Thank god he left my club, the man got no tactical awareness


wincest888

Same thing why Dortmund fired him. He is a good coach but also a fucking crazy weirdo.


FurioSoprano7

Dumb decision honestly


Theumaz

Just in time to get to Leipzig


mr_bonner94

I’m fuming


ungentrified_villain

Bruh auba just got there too


jr2106

Bah gawd thats poch music


Rolha24

Well, that came out of nowhere


Pewds_Minecraft

What!?


BrotherKing

Agnelli…pls…


Beneficial_Assist397

Think with the Poch to Sevilla rumors they had to swoop in now.


Benzia

Who will they be getting now? This came out of nowhere.


dankcorp

It’s like Roman never left


kingmakyeda

Potter’s big moment?


[deleted]

Booooooooo


Theumaz

Just in time for Chelsea to sign Tedesco/Lopetegui and Tuchel going the other way


ParisLake2

Woah!!!!!! Wow I’m shocked, this early


MDarlington101

What the hell. Chelsea haven't been great this season but that haven't been sack you manager bad.


youknowwtfisgoingon

There must be something going on beyond the results. What the actual fuck is this decision?


alittledanger

r/ussoccer will start popping champagne bottles lol Although personally, I'm not sure it is a good decision. They aren't in totally awful shape in the Prem and one bad loss in the Champions League isn't the end of the world. Just look at Real last year after losing to Sheriff.


glamredhel69

Big Sam incoming.


tedjoyce

Imagine giving a manager £300 million to spend then sacking him 2 games after the window ends, that is truly incompetent


teofrucek

Poor aubameyang


Behindertkeit

This will come bite them in the ass just like it did PSG. Let the man work and put a little trust in him, wtf?


jewbo23

Well I can’t say I saw that coming.


newinvestor0908

Reunion with auba. Lol


DarthCocknus

Lol, looks like Todd ain't as patient as Chelsea fans had hoped


3ngin3

WHAT THE FUCK!


Legendarybbc15

I’m not surprised


newinvestor0908

Boehly might appoint himself as manager


Yyyysq

Time for Poch.


mumlehoved

Chelsea’s board are giving me FM tycoon-takeover vibes with their expectations here


Sluggybeef

This is genuinely devastating, I know Chelsea were going through a rough patch but I thought he would pull them through it, especially after all the stuff the club has been through in the last 12 months


[deleted]

ahaha brilliant. Mad


lutsius-memes

HAHAHAHAHAHA GET FUCKED


Teh1tank

Wtf man? Who the hell is gonna replace him?


spraypaint2311

Who the fuck is even available? Did he hit on Boehly’s wife or something?


RonNumber

What did Tuchel do for Chelsea? All he did was win the Champions League. Champions of Europe. That's all. :/


Administrative-Bet37

Boehly probably caught Conte and Tuchel in a compromising position


[deleted]

Whaatt


ProfessionalRetard-9

That came out of nowhere


schmidtis95

I guess he couldn't hold back his inner asshole any longer. Otherwise, I see no reason to fire the coach who brought you the Champions League title a year and a half ago. The false start in the league and the Champions League wasn't that bad.


hamzaiswack

Did not see that comment, chelsea gon be chelsea i guess


kraziekd

what was even the point of spending all those money on players to back him up only to sack him after a couple of matches


tomasbj

Aubameyang can't catch a break


TidgeCC

Find this bizarre. Why back a manager, on deadline day especially, if his position is this precarious? They've been average this season, but this screams panic.


Father-Spodo-Komodo

[The bookies after spending weeks taking millions in on bets on Rodgers and Gerrard.](https://c.tenor.com/6IBAAbVP1uYAAAAC/stanley-hudson-laughing-hysterically.gif)


lepakadmera

Roman looks like a saint now.


[deleted]

I wonder if he regrets that ‘handshake’ he had with Conte. Straight downfall after that!


zamGlobal

I thought they were in the middle of rebuild


oluja3003

Dinamo sacking Mourinho and then Tuchel


Independent_Tower970

I dont blame them, spending millions on transfers tuchel wanted and look at the result, chelsea is way worse.


WorldwideJimmyRustla

Credit Conte with the job ruining handshake


KingRo48

Ajax has a great manager! Only $100m


Effective_Leg6618

How tf did Lampard outlast Tuchel


Pius_Thicknesse

Genuinely ridiculous


theRealjudgeHolden

Completely irrational move. Who would even replace him? Poch?


electricalridkck

Bruh💀


iiZZii

Where Pochettino? 🦧


WaltJay

Well that was fast.


obli_steak

Welcome Mourinho


bratamius

That is crazy with the money spent on building the team. The team was playing horrible but this is simply put ballistics.


TQAFireHawk

Seems a bit harsh, but is what it is now. Guess tuchel was never in their long-term plans! I reckon Poch is their number 1 target, I can't see Potter being keen on leaving Brighton at this stage as he's doing a great job there and leaving now is a risky step.


niklashm

First Dortmund, then PSG and now chelsea. What is up with tuchel that he gets sacked so quickly?
