Nobody really knows what made Roman Abramovich sack Frank Lampard in January but maybe it was simply because he sensed an opportunity.
Doing the right thing at the right time is everything in sport and maybe that extends beyond the field of play, too.
So back in the winter when Abramovich was criticised for cutting a Chelsea hero’s management career off at its knees following an FA Cup win over Luton, maybe it was simply about the timing.
Thomas Tuchel had recently been sacked by Paris Saint- Germain.
