Chelsea: Why Tuchel was sacked – Jorginho

Chelsea midfielder, Jorginho, has revealed that his colleagues and fellow team-mates “are responsible” for Thomas Tuchel’s sacking.

Recall that Tuchel was sacked last Wednesday, a day after the London club suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League.

The club have since appointed Graham Potter as their new manager.

Jorginho disclosed at a news conference on Tuesday ahead of their Champions League game against FC Salzburg that the players were surprised by the sacking of Tuchel’s but added that the squad must take part of the blame.

According to him: “of course [the players are also responsible, we are a team. It is not one person responsible for what happened. We are the team as a group on the pitch, so of course, we are responsible for what happened.

“We tried to do what we could and where it could go better. Unfortunately, it wasn’t working. The challenge now is to rebuild confidence.” He said.
