Thomas Tuchel’s sacking from Chelsea Football Club has been shrouded in mystery and speculation, with many fans and pundits struggling to understand why the German coach was dismissed from his role as manager.

However, new reports suggest that Tuchel’s refusal to allow co-owner Todd Boehly access to the dressing room during a match against West Ham in September 2022 may have been the catalyst for his departure.

According to talkSPORT, Boehly attempted to visit the team’s dressing room during the match, which Chelsea were struggling to win.

Tuchel, who was reportedly upset by Boehly’s interference refused to allow the co-owner into the dressing room.

The incident reportedly caused tension between Tuchel and Chelsea’s board, with some members of the club’s hierarchy feeling that the coach had overstepped his boundaries.

Tuchel was eventually dismissed from his role as manager in November 2022, with the club citing a “breakdown in communication” as the reason for his departure.

While the exact details of Tuchel’s sacking may never be fully known, the reports of Boehly’s attempted visit to the dressing room are sure to raise eyebrows among Chelsea fans.

Many supporters of the club have long been critical of the perceived interference of club owners in the day-to-day running of the team, with some feeling that the owners’ involvement can sometimes be detrimental to the team’s success.

Since the incident with Tuchel, things have only gone downhill for the club. Following Graham Potter sack, Frank Lampard took over as interim manager but had a rough start with four winless games.

In an effort to turn things around, Boehly has been making frequent visits to the dressing room to boost morale and try to spur the team on to better results.

With Chelsea now out of the Champions League, their focus is solely on accumulating points in the Premier League and finding a permanent manager to lead them forward.

Securing a top-four finish is crucial for the Blues to qualify for next season’s Champions League, and they will be looking to improve their domestic form as they continue their search for a new boss.

The club’s large squad of players will need to be motivated and perform at their best if they are to achieve their goals and salvage what has been a disappointing season thus far.
