There was a reaction to the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel. Affirmative. The announcement of the firing still came as a shock, even after a poor start to the season culminated in Tuesday's defeat in the group stage of the European Championship. You can watch LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more on the US version of the network. The Blues have lost three of their past five games, including two in the premier league. The loss to Dinamo in Croatia was the 100th game in charge of the Blues for Tuchel. Within 123 days, the German won the European Championship, the Super Cup, and the Club World Cup. He didn't have it all his own way in finals, losing in back-to-back FA Cup showpieces toLeicester City and then in the Carabao Cup toLiverpool. He leaves less than a week after the club's new owners broke the record for spending in a single transfer window by spending over $300 million on five players.

His overall win percentage of 60% holds up pretty well against the Blues' previous three managers, though of course he remains the only one among them to have won the biggest prize.

During the first 50 games of his tenure as manager, the German's team conceded just 24 goals, but in the last 50 games, they gave up 53 goals.
49% - Thomas #Tuchel was in charge of Chelsea for 100 games in all competitions, registering 49 clean sheets - no other team in Europe's big five leagues kept as high a proportion of shut-outs (49%) or conceded as few goals on average (0.8 per game) in that the period.

His dismissal shouldn't come as much of a shock since he tends not to last more than two years at any major club and he came close to completing a third season at Paris Saint-Germain.
Thomas Tu-seasons amirite?

It would have to be the best moment in the club's history, as they won the trophy for the first time in six years in the final against Manchester City.
The league finishes of fourth and third under the German tactician will be looked upon as disappointing.

Some fans are questioning the sense of allowing the transfer window to come and go before starting the process of hiring a new head coach, as social media reaction to Tuchel's early-season departure has been mixed with some fans questioning the sense of allowing the transfer window to come and go before
There were whispers that new co-owner Todd Boehly might have the perfect candidate lined up.
Huge call by Todd Boehly to sack Thomas Tuchel. But what an opportunity for Tuchel's successor, Todd Boehly.

Some imagined scenes from the post-Dinamo debrief between Tuchel and Boehly on Wednesday morning like the one he had with Conte last month.

It will go down as one of the most memorable images of his time at the club, and perhaps it was the moment it all started to go wrong.
