Chelsea co-owner is said to be unhappy with the ‘performances and structure of the squad’ at the Blues amid the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and hiring of Graham Potter, according to reports.

Boehly took over at the west London outfit alongside Clearlake Capital earlier in the year and has since overseen a number of changes at the club.

Chelsea have spent over £250 million on new signings this summer, with the new ownership keen to make a good impression from the get-go.

After a mixed start to the season on the pitch, Boehly is set to be ready to make further changes.

According to The Times, the American businessman is said to be unhappy with the ‘performances and structure of the squad’.

He is also thought to be interested in hiring a sporting director having already held talks with Luis Campos, who is currently at Paris Saint-Germain.

On Wednesday, Chelsea parted ways with Tuchel after 19 months together since his appointment back at the start of 2021.

The news came the day after their 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, their third loss of the season so far.

Potter was soon brought in as his replacement, with the 47-year-old being a frontrunner for the role from the start alongside Mauricio Pochettino.

He joins the Blues after a highly impressive spell at the helm at Brighton, who currently sit fourth in the Premier League.

Upon Potter’s arrival, Boehly said: "We are thrilled to bring Graham to Chelsea. He is a proven coach and an innovator in the Premier League who fits our vision for the Club.

"Not only is he extremely talented on the pitch, he has skills and capabilities that extend beyond the pitch which will make Chelsea a more successful Club.

"He has had a major impact at his previous Clubs’ and we look forward to his positive impact at Chelsea.

"We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years."

Potter’s first game in charge as manager is now set to be against FC Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

It will be his first appearance in the competition as a boss, having previously had experience in the Europa League.

Chelsea were due to play in a west London derby on Saturday against Fulham, but the match was postponed due to the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

However, it is believed that Wednesday’s game is still set to go ahead.
