What Boehly did to Tuchel before sacking him – Rio Ferdinand

By Adeleye Kunle

Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United defender, has claimed that Chelsea owners, under the leadership of Todd Boehly interfered in the work of manager Thomas Tuchel before sacking him.

Boehly relieved Tuchel from his duties after Chelsea’s Champions League 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb last week.

The American quickly appointed Brighton coach, Graham Potter to replace Tuchel.

“It is a big thing with a manager being sacked and the way it happened,” Ferdinand said on Vibe with Five.

“I met him and did an interview with him just prior to that about his Chelsea team and the way it is structured and his plans going forward. It was just really mad and it was surreal really when I heard the news coming through because the way he was talking to me on and off screen was like he was delighted to be there
