Thomas Tuchel: Bayern Boss Suggested He Would Have Returned to Chelsea After Potter’s Sacking

• Chelsea's hierarchy had a slice of the humble pie and sacked head coach Graham Potter yesterday
• The English manager replaced former boss Thomas Tuchel but has been shown the exit in seven months
• The German manager took over at Bayern Munich last week but has inadvertently wished he had not

Todd Boehly has been operating in a manner unfamiliar in football circles since he took over as Chelsea owner about a year ago. He sacked Thomas Tuchel unexpectedly in September and yesterday sacked his replacement without notice.

Graham Potter struggled to have an impact on the Chelsea players and also could not deliver results on the pitch; with the club languishing in position 11, it became inevitable to part ways with him just seven months into the job.

The Blues sporting department are working actively to find his replacement and, in the meantime, have installed one of his assistants Bruno Saltor as the interim boss.

Tuchel speaks on Potter's sack

Tuchel began his tenure at Bayern with a 4-2 win over his former club Borussia Dortmund and faces a tricky tie against SC Freiburg in the DFB Pokal tomorrow.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow's game, he was asked about the vacant managerial role at Chelsea. His response suggested he would have re-taken the job if he were unemployed, according to Mirror UK.

“I saw the news very late last night. The timing coincided with my appointment here. I really enjoyed working there and formed friendships for life. But the club has changed a lot, so it didn't really trigger big emotions in me,” he said.
