“For this, Domenico and his coaching staff deserve our gratitude,” Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff said of the German Cup win. “However, after our mediocre start to the Bundesliga season with five points from five games, along with the recent defeats to Eintracht and Shakhtar, we believe that a change of management is the right course of action to turn things round quickly.” Tedesco led Leipzig to a first major title in its 13-year history — the German Cup last season — but a poor start to the Bundesliga season included a 4-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Five takeaways as Champions League makes a return (Euronews)

1. Ukraine exiles Shakhtar Donetsk beats Leipzig · 2. France star Kylian Mbappe breaks Champions League record · 3. Karim Benzema injured as Real Madrid beat ...

Mbappe, Messi and Neymar were all prominent as PSG went 2-0 up in the first half. The German had led the Blues to the Champions League title in 2021, also winning the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup that year. "Here at PSG we are not out of touch," he said. The Croatian forward ran from the halfway line and produced a deft finish in the 13th minute to lead Dinamo Zagreb to a surprising 1-0 win over Chelsea in their opening Group E match in the Champions League on Tuesday. Haaland again showed his uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, as he was on hand to steer in a cross from Kevin De Bruyne in the 21st minute and then tapped in a rebound for the team's third goal in the 67th. Leipzig reached the semi-finals of the Champions League as recently as 2020 and won the German Cup last year.

Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here. Tuchel guided the Blues to Champions League glory in his first season, in addition to two other minor trophies, but was axed following a dismal 1-0 defeat in the opening group stage match of this year’s Champions League competition. The Blues sit sixth in the Premier League, having won three games and drawn once from their six outings – but already five points behind early leaders Arsenal. A massive clash with Liverpool follows. It was by far the biggest spend of any club in Europe. A club statement announcing Tuchel’s axing read: “As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is missing the Champions League for the first time in 20 years.

Villarreal coach Unai Emery will try to add the European competition to his four career Europa League titles, and the path begins at home against Lech Poznan. Arsenal is England’s other big hope in the competition and the Premier League leaders start off at Zurich. United manager Erik ten Hag is likely to start his fringe players in the match at Old Trafford and that is what Ronaldo and club captain Harry Maguire have become after making big changes following the team’s woeful start to the season.

The 45-year-old is familiar with Red Bull's methods and is interestingly a Leipzig native having played for VfB Leipzig and coached Lokomotive Leipzig in his past. Another name to keep an eye on after their underwhelming start to the season is Massimiliano Allegri who saw his Juventus side go down 2-1 to PSG on Tuesday. Four losses from five games across all competitions with heavy defeats to Barcelona and now City is unacceptable for the six-time UEFA Europa League winners and Pochettino has also been linked with the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan role should it be vacated by ex-Spain, Real Madrid, and FC Porto man Lopetegui. It appears that both Chelsea and Leipzig already have their preferred candidates in mind with Brighton and Hove Albion's Graham Potter the early frontrunner but former Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino also on a four-man list. RB Leipzig beat them to the punch by barely an hour in dismissing Domenico Tedesco after a shocking 4-1 home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk. Chelsea were beaten 1-0 in Croatia which meant that the Blues only had two wins from their last six matches across all competitions.
