CHELSEA fans have been left experiencing dejavu following yet another shock managerial sacking.
The club announced Thomas Tuchel’s departure after just 100 matches in charge.
And on the 100th day of Chelsea’s summer takeover at the hands of Todd Boehly, the American is already braced for a new head coach.
His predecessor Roman Abramovich was renowned for brutally swinging the axe when times got tough in the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
Now Chelsea fans fear Boehly will keep up the tradition as they bid farewell to the popular Tuchel.
And some even joked Abramovich is still secretly running the club through his replacement.

Gary Lineker added: Chelsea have fired Thomas Tuchel.
“Didn’t take long for the new owner to follow his predecessor’s policy of getting rid at the first real dip in form.”
During Abramovich’s 19-year Chelsea reign, he hired 14 different managers and built a reputation for pulling the trigger.
Although the Russian celebrated two Champions League trophies as well as five Premier League titles and FA Cups in the period.
Tuchel had led Chelsea to a second Champions League trophy just two seasons ago, when he replaced Frank Lampard.
The German then saw Abramovich leave in the summer alongside club directors Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia.
And his relationship with Boehly looked to have been growing after being handed over £250MILLION in the transfer market.
But just one week after the window shut, Tuchel has been sent his marching orders.
Brighton’s Graham Potter as well as out-of-work pair Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane are among the frontrunners to replace him.
