Tuchel’s assistant manager Zsolt Low has admitted it’s “challenging” to keep the Chelsea squad motivated after their Champions League triumph.

Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1-0 in May’s UCL final but haven’t won the Premier League since 2016-17 and are keen to end their wait.

However, Tuchel’s assistant, Low said, “after the Champions League win, it is very difficult and challenging for our players to stay motivated, but we are constantly working on this.”

Low and his boss Tuchel are doing a good job at the moment, with the team winning six of their eight Premier League games this term to sit top of the table.

Chelsea’s only league defeat so far was at home to Guardiola’s City, the defending champions, in September.

Low has been working with Tuchel since the latter was appointed Paris Saint-Germain manager in the summer of 2018.

The former Hungary international was previously Ralph Hasenhuttl’s assistant at RB Leipzig before linking up with Tuchel.

Discussing his role in Tuchel’s operation, Low said: “A lot of people are asking me what exactly my role in the team is.

“We do everything together from training, planning to creating the framework, tracking the opposition, analyzing our matches.

“We get together in a small group, and we live and work together all the time when we’re at the training ground.

“We also discuss what we saw during the matches together, we share our experiences together at half-time, we may try to change things.

“The manager always has the last word, but we always discuss the processes together, so I can always have my say on everything.”
