Chelsea have parted company with German manager Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel was relieved of his duties early Wednesday morning following the circulation of an official statement by Chelsea Football Club.

The Blues have started the season poorly winning only three of their first six league matches. The two league losses suffered have been at the hands of lesser rated clubs, Leeds United and Southampton.

The most recent of Chelsea’s poor performances was a 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League.

The club statement
The statement on Chelsea’s website read: “On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club.

“Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here.

“As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition.
