Brutal Boehly! Chelsea's ruthless new owner continues his Stamford Bridge cleanout by axing Thomas Tuchel one month into the new season, having offloaded Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia - and demoted Bruce Buck - upon arrival in SW6

Thomas Tuchel has become the latest Chelsea figure to be given the axe following Todd Boehly's £4.25billion take over in May.

The new owner has wasted no time in discarding the German manager - giving Tuchel his marching orders just seven games into the season.

Tuchel - who lasted 100 days under Boehly - will follow former sporting director Marina Granovskaia, CEO Guy Laurence and technical and performance advisor Petr Cech in departing the club.
