Chelsea have parted ways with coach Thomas Tuchel after the failed Champions League start.
This was announced by the London football club on Wednesday morning.
Already the evening before, the mood was in the basement with the German.
"I'm mad at myself, I'm mad at our performance.
I didn't see it coming," said the 49-year-old after London's surprising 1-0 draw at Dinamo Zagreb.
“We are clearly not where we need to be and where we can be.
So it's up to me, it's up to us, we have to find solutions. ”The club found this with the dismissal of Tuchel, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.
Chelsea also had a mixed start to the season in the English Premier League and have already lost two games after six games.
"Everything is missing at the moment.
There is so much to analyze.
I'm part of it," said the former Borussia Dortmund coach.
"We're not happy, but I thought we were on the right track.
I'm surprised by this performance.” The goal for Zagreb was scored by Mislav Orsic, who took advantage of Dinamo's first chance in the 13th minute.
Chelsea played with newly signed former Bundesliga player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Germany international Kai Havertz, but didn't take advantage of his chances.
The outsider convinced against the top English club with passionate defensive work.
"I don't know where this performance comes from.
There is a lack of hunger, of intensity, of the determination to win duels," criticized Tuchel.
