Thomas Tuchel was dismissed as Chelsea boss in September 2022, but Chelsea fans still haven't recovered from that shock six months after the incident occurred.

Despite consecutive defeats to Leeds United, Southampton and Dinamo Zagreb prior to his sacking, it was obvious that the German's dismissal was not solely based on the team's results.

Admittedly, Todd Boehly at some point hinted that Tuchel's sacking was due to some off-the-pitch issues.

Then Brighton manager, Graham Potter was drafted in as the new Chelsea boss on a five-year deal.

The London club at this point may be regretting the sacking of the former Paris Saint-Germain coach after two managers have so far failed to fill in the shoes of the Champions League winner.

Fresh details emerging indicate that there was some form of strife between the American club owner and the German tactician.

The Mirror reports that Todd Boehly was incensed by Thomas Tuchel's decision to deny him access to the Chelsea dressing room at halftime during the Blues' clash with West Ham United in the Premier League - a game which turned to be Tuchel's last game at the helm.

The infuriated club owner fired the German coach after the game.

Tuchel has recently been appointed as manager of Bayern Munich after Julian Nagelsmann was sacked by the Bavarians.
