'It doesn't make sense to me': Rio Ferdinand slams Chelsea's decision to sack Thomas Tuchel... and claims his successor will be a 'DOWNGRADE' on the German coach

Rio Ferdinand 'can't understand' why Chelsea have sacked Thomas Tuchel, and has questioned who could do a better job than the German coach.

Tuchel was relieved of his duties on Wednesday morning after losing his final match in charge against Dinamo Zagreb the previous evening. He leaves Chelsea having won the Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup during his 20 months in charge.

Results have spiralled in recent weeks, with the Blues losing three away games on the trot, but Ferdinand still thinks Tuchel deserved more time to turn things around.
