WATCH: Jamie Carragher brutally trolls Chelsea owner and Thomas Tuchel after the latter gets sacked

Thomas Tuchel was fired by Chelsea on Wednesday morning. In response, Jamie Carragher reposted the handshake between Tuchel and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, joking that it was ” Tuchel and Todd Boehly this morning.”

The Chelsea owner fired Thomas Tuchel whose side remained bizarrely divided after record transfer spending. “Thomas is a difficult person, but a fantastic coach,” said Borussia Dortmund’s chief executive, Hans-Joachim Watzke, in November 2020.

“We broke up because it just didn’t fit.” Thomas Tuchel’s tenure at Dortmund came to an abrupt end more than five years ago, and now the manager, who grew up supporting Tottenham Hotspur because he loved the name, is once more jobless.

Only 15 months after their Champions League victory at Porto’s Estádio do Drago, Chelsea’s lacklustre performances this season have supporters wondering if this is the beginning of the end for the 49-year-old. This is despite Chelsea spending a record £260 million or more in the summer transfer window. However, few people would have foreseen the end coming so quickly.

Chelsea sacks Thomas Tuchel

The American co-owner decided to take action 100 days into the Todd Boehly period after seeing firsthand Tuchel’s disorganized tactics when his team was defeated by Dinamo Zagreb in their opening match of this season’s league. Even though in hindsight, there were numerous indications that it would go in this direction, it was the kind of brutal choice that was more reminiscent of the former administration led by Roman Abramovich.

After Chelsea fell behind to Mislav Orsic’s superb breakaway goal against Dinamo, three formation changes in the span of 45 minutes were enough to confound any player. The ease with which Orsic and Bruno Petkovic sliced through his defence forced Tuchel to rub his eyes in shock.

“We conceded a goal with two players in a counterattack – it never happened before,” said the manager. “I don’t understand why it happened today. It’s clearly my job to analyse it so this is my analysing from the sideline and it will continue.”

After pledging to spend more than £4 billion to buy the team from Abramovich at the end of May, Boehly made the decision that enough was enough. The departure of key figures over the summer, including director Marina Granovskaia, chairman Bruce Buck, and technical and performance adviser Petr Cech, gave the impression that he had given Tuchel complete control over seeing him through the challenging start to his ownership. However, the calibre of performances was steadily declining.
