Thomas Tuchel's disconnect from his Chelsea players reached the extent that some of them wanted to avoid playing on the same side of the pitch as his dug-out, it can be revealed.
Tuchel, sacked yesterday by Chelsea's new American owner Todd Boehly, was an emotional figure in his technical area throughout his time at Stamford Bridge, often roaring demands at his players from the dug-out.
But it was a habit that his players got sick of. Sportsmail can reveal a number of Chelsea's wide players did not like playing on Tuchel's side of the pitch, along Stamford Bridge's East Stand.
