Thomas Tuchel has been spotted for the first time since he was sacked as the Chelsea boss.

The German tactician was ruthlessly shown the door on Wednesday, September 7, after more than a year and half at the helm of affairs at Stamford Bridge.

His sacking came just hours after the Blues had suffered a 1-0 humbling defeat at the hands of minnows Dinamo Zagreb in their opening match of the Champions League.

According to The Sun, the former Paris Saint-Germain boss had pleaded with Chelsea chiefs not to sack him as he sought to steady the ship at Stamford Bridge.
