Even in the midst of the club’s prolonged problems and dismal run of results, Thomas Tuchel’s name and some of his previous words continue to loom over it.
The winner of the Champions League was fired for failing to support the club’s long-term goals, not because his final performances were clearly getting worse.
According to ESPN FC, Tuchel claimed that Chelsea had the same problems as Arsenal because it used the same players following the 4-0 preseason loss to Arsenal.

Although his remark was not well received by the Blues administration or fans, it is now proving to be accurate.
According to BBC Sports, the German had also raised doubt about the players’ dedication by questioning whether the team would be prepared for the season.
The team is back to where they were under the previous manager, despite Potter having initially stabilized the ship and even topping the Champions League group after a double header 5-0 win over AC Milan.
After the match against Fulham, some sections of the club’s supporters reportedly followed Graham Potter, Tuchel’s replacement, to his car.
They reportedly conveyed their belief in and support for the Englishman while also pleading with him to change the team in response to a remark made by the German during his final days at Stamford Bridge.
