Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has explained the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel’s departure came hours after a 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.
Boehly, speaking at the SALT Conference in the United States, said: “When you take over any business, You have to make sure you are aligned with the people in the business, and Tuchel is obviously extremely talented and obviously someone who had great success with Chelsea.
“Our vision for the club was to find a manager who really wanted to collaborate with us, a coach who really wanted to collaborate.

“There are a lot of walls to break down at Chelsea. Before, the first team and academy didn’t really share data, didn’t share information about where the top players were coming from. Our goal is to bring a team together; all of that needs to be a well-oiled machine.
“The reality of our decision was that we weren’t sure that Thomas saw it the same way we saw it. No one is right or wrong, we just didn’t have a shared vision for the future. It wasn’t about Zagreb, it was about the shared vision for what we wanted Chelsea to look like.
“It wasn’t a decision that was made because of a single win or loss. It was a decision that we thought was the right vision for the club.”
