Chelsea's coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation of our upcoming matches as the club moves swiftly to appoint a new head coach.

"Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with Head Coach  Thomas Tuchel. 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 during his time here," said the club in an  official statement on its website.

"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," added  the club in its statement.
