Overall, this appears to be pretty positive for CFC, although, some fans could be apprehensive about such a huge change occurring so fast.
The playing squad has changed significantly from last year due to recent additions like Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as well as departures of star players like Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Antonio Rudiger, and Marcos Alonso. These changes are in addition to those that have taken place off the field.
Recall that Thomas Tuchel, the former manager of Chelsea, has spoken for the first time since being fired from his position.
After a 1-0 loss away to Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League, the German coach was fired on Wednesday morning.
When Frank Lampard’s replacement, Thomas Tuchel, was named in January 2021, he led Chelsea to their second Champions League title in May of that same year.
With a victory over Palmeiras in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, he guided Chelsea to the Club World Cup, the one trophy that had eluded Abramovich during his 19-year tenure.
