Chelsea: Incomprehensible, Boehly doing things with his elbow mentality – Ballack on Tuchel
By Adeleye Kunle
Michael Ballack, a former Chelsea midfielder, has described the club’s decision to sack manager Thomas Tuchel as ‘incomprehensible’.
Ballack also insisted that Chelsea doesn’t need any upheaval going forward following Tuchel’s sack, adding that the club’s co-owner Todd Boehly is doing things differently now with his elbow mentality.
Recall that Boehly marked his 100th day in charge of the west London club by sacking Tuchel earlier in the season.
The American billionaire quickly appointed Graham Potter to replace Tuchel after Chelsea lost to Dinamo Zagreb a few weeks ago.
However, Ballack was surprised to see Boehly dismiss Tuchel despite the former Paris Saint-Germain coach winning three trophies during his 20-month spell at Stamford Bridge.
“I was surprised by the sacking,” Ballack told Track News.
“For me, it was incomprehensible when a coach is dismissed so quickly.
“Especially because Thomas Tuchel had such great success, like winning the Champions League.
“You can see that a new owner brings a new philosophy with a new understanding of ideas. Everyone has their own people they want to rely on, so they made the hard cut with the trainer.
“We have to see if it works in the long term. I believe that you have to approach such a successful and big club carefully. Chelsea does not need any upheaval! Todd Boehly is doing it differently now with his elbow mentality.
