"We want to make a new start" - Christian Falk reveals Chelsea owner Todd Boehly's words to Thomas Tuchel while firing him

Christian Falk of BILD recently reported on the conversation that took place between Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel. The German was sacked from the position of the club's coach on Wednesday, September 7.

Tuchel was sacked earlier today in a shocking turn of events after the Blues lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League game of the season.

He was in charge of the Blues for 99 games recording 62 wins, 19 draws, and 18 losses during his time at the club.

He won one UEFA Champions League trophy, one UEFA Super Cup, and one FIFA Club World Cup during his time at the help of the west London-based club. Tuchel was named 'The Best FIFA Football Coach' for 2021 as well.

The German manager went on a spending spree over the summer. He broke the club record for the most money spent during the transfer window. Kalidoy Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and more were recruited to improve the squad.

In six league games so far this season, Chelsea have managed to garner 10 points. They currently occupy the sixth spot in the league table.

The Blues lost their opening Champions League group stage game against Dynamo Zagreb.

In a statement to Christian Falk, Todd Boehly told the 49-year-old that the club wanted to make a new start:

"We want to make a new start"

Chelsea's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo caused friction between Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was keen to leave Manchester United over the course of the summer as the legendary Portuguese forward wanted to play in the Champions League.

United finished sixth in the Premier League last season and didn't qualify for Europe's premier club competition.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly was keen to sign the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. Along with the 37-year-old's abilities on the pitch, signing the player would have leveled up the club's brand value.

However, Thomas Tuchel dismissed the possibility of signing the player as he stated that Ronaldo will disrupt the dressing room's harmony.

"He will destroy the spirit in my dressing room," Tuchel reportedly told Boehly about Ronaldo.

Chelsea went on to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang instead. The Gabonese forward's last stint in London ended after a fallout with manager Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.

Thomas Tuchel's denial of signing a player of Ronaldo's profile and caliber reportedly led to his relationship with Boehly going downhill.
