Heidel told BILD that the dismissal "was completely an investor's decision" and "the sacking provides grist to the mill of those who are against investors in sport."

"After only six games, I can't believe that someone who doesn't know anything about football decided that sixth place wasn't good enough for him and said: "Then let's try another coach.

But Chelsea will bitterly regret this decision – they won’t get such a good coach again so quickly."
