Chelsea's players grew tired of Thomas Tuchel's intense management style, it has been claimed.

Tuchel has been sacked and replaced by Graham Potter at Chelsea in the last 48 hours.

The Daily Mail claims the players will be happy to see the back of Tuchel given his demanding nature.

Chelsea players had 'become sick' of the former Paris Saint-Germain chief, who often cut a passionate figure in the dugout during his time at the Blues. It has been claimed that some members of the squad did not like playing on the same side of the pitch as the dugouts, which are situated in Stamford Bridge's East Stand.

Chelsea players had also grown tired of Tuchel's "constant barking and moaning" and were not happy with his negative reactions to them failing to get back and cover defensively or failing to take a chance.

Tuchel's body language and demands are also said to have hampered plans from the club's new leadership to build closer relationships.
