As the source informs, Thomas Tuchel arrived at the team's base yesterday morning and was going to conduct a morning training session. "Chelsea" has started preparations for the match of the 7th round of the Premier League against "Fulham". In addition, the coach was going to talk to the players after a weak game against Dinamo Zagreb (0:1) in the Champions League. The notice of resignation was an unpleasant surprise for him.

As reported by the British media, the main contender for the post of head coach of "Chelsea" is "Brighton" coach Graham Potter.
