Thomas Tuchel will not leave Stamford Bridge after the sanctions imposed on owner Abramovich.
A little about the topic
The German football manager has promised to stay at Chelsea until the end of the season despite the uncertainty around the club. Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the UK government over his ties to Russian President Putin amid the country’s invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich’s assets have been frozen and limits placed on how much the club can spend, but the Russian oligarch is trying to sell Chelsea this month.
What did Thomas Tuchel say?
Thomas was asked if he planned to leave the club amid the difficulties, but he vowed to stay put for now. Thomas Tuchel told reporters that there is no doubt that he will stay until the end of the season. Absolutely. According to Tuchel they just have to wait and still have to go day by day because things can change. But as they know the situation is clear, the club is for sale and Tuchel hopes he will come through to sort it out and give them a perspective.
But this is purely speculation and Thomas doesn’t have more information than they do. And that’s what Thomas had in mind day after day, it’s a good way to live your life anyway, and now they have to do it because there are some circumstances that they can’t control. At some point it’s not so nice because they don’t have strings to pull and no action to help. But on the other hand, it gives them the freedom to focus on what they can influence, and that is their performances and show the spirit. Because, of course, the focus is on the first tgim, their players and Tuchel and Chelsea’s first team.
But according to Thomas Tuchel Chelsea is much more than the first PL team. This is a huge club, a huge club with huge traditions. And there are hundreds of people who, Tuchel is sure, are more worried than their players and staff, including him. And it’s important to them that they show the spirit and give them a little distraction, some hope and show what they’re about, and they’re about football, because they love the game.
