Thomas Tuchel says he is "devastated" that his time as Chelsea head coach was prematurely ended.

The German, who guided the Blues to Champions League glory last year and the Club World Cup crown in February, was sacked on Wednesday following Tuesday night's loss at Dinamo Zagreb - the club's third defeat in seven matches - amid suggestions his relationship with new owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali had deteriorated.
