Thomas Tuchel, according to recent events, had done his best to get out of Chelsea. And that includes even his personal life.
The German was fired this Wednesday, a situation that in England was almost expected after the arrival of the new owners who replaced the Russian Roman Abramovich and who dismissed the entire leadership upon arrival, including the president, Bruce Buck, the director, Marina Granovskaia, and even Petr Cech, although in this case he asked to leave the sports management.
What happened? The results are clearly not what was expected, with the sixth position in the Premier League (10 points) and the defeat against Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 in the Champions League debut. But for American owner Todd Boehly, co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, there are more seasonings on the way.
The team spent more than 280 million euros on transfers in the last market but was left without a market opportunity: Cristiano Ronaldo. The American owner saw an ideal marketing option but Tuchel flatly refused to receive him and preferred Aubameyang. That little disposition to change and to be part of the business would not have liked.
But other details, more from the private sphere, would have bothered: the show of the fight with Conte, according to several British media, fell very badly on the board, which added another completely extra-sports detail: Miguel Delaney revealed in The Independent that the DT has a girlfriend much younger than him, a relationship that would have started when he was still married and that “was not the best image” of the club. Incredible but true!
It is worth saying that Sissi Tuchel, mother of the coach’s two daughters, filed for divorce four months ago and the process has not even ended. She had only been living in London for a few months, because she stayed in Paris when the DT left PSG and went to England without her family. The journalist would have soon discovered her new sentimental situation and she would have decided to say goodbye to her, the same one that Chelsea gave Tuchel in the last few hours.
