Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has been spotted at Chelsea's training grounds - Cobham - ahead of crunch talks with the playing body following the sack of Thomas Tuchel.

Boehly ruthlessly showed Tuchel the exit door after a dismal start to the campaign, which continued with a shock defeat in their Champions League opener against Dinamo Zagreb.

The German trainer's sack is startling yet expected considering the ruthless nature of the club's top hierarchy, with new owner Todd Boehly continuing with the trusted and established legacy of the club.

Club captain Azpilicueta and his colleagues wore stern faces as they meet the top brass of the club and also condition themselves to face life after Thomas Tuchel.

In the interim, the club are seriously hunting for the successor of the 49-year-old German trainer with Brighton boss Graham Potter the favourite to land the hot seat at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea currently lie in the sixth position in the Premier League and have lost their past three away games in all competitions.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Thomas Tuchel's 19-month relationship with Chelsea was brutally brought to an abrupt end following his side's disappointing loss in the Champions League against minnows Dinamo Zagreb.

Tuchel immensely became very popular with the supporters during his stint at Stamford Bridge, where he managed to turn a disjointed Chelsea team to win the Champions League in a space of four months.

He proceeded to win the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup but his poor start to the campaign which underlines his recent nosedive in results forced the Todd Boehly-led Chelsea ownership to axe the German tactician.
