Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, was fired on Wednesday morning by club co-owner, Todd Boehly.
Tuchel had only spent 33 days into the new season before he was kicked out.

KemiFilani reports that the German was asked to leave Stamford Bridge just seven matches into the season following a 1-0 defeat by Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
With the 49-year-old gone, it is gathered that the new temporary manager is expected to be Anthony Barry, the 36-year-old current first-team coach. The club will likely move fast in their bid to make a new permanent signing before their next game, which is against Fulham.
KemiFilani gathered that one of the reasons Tuchel was fired was due to new club management losing faith in him after evaluating 100 days of the relationship.
