Thomas Tuchel determined to stay at Chelsea

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has announced he wants to remain at Chelsea and help them through trying times.

The club could be without its key players as a dent left by the recent sanctions from the British government.

They are also being sold to a consortium led by US investor Todd Boehly in a £4.25billion deal.

Tuchel made a positive statement concerning the club saying he is aware of the club’s problems and will not leave.

He said, “I am aware but I have no new information and have not been informed about the character of the issues that have obviously arrived.

“Let’s wait and see. I am still convinced that it is in good hands, not my hands but hopefully good hands and better hands than my hands.

“Hopefully it will go through as quickly as possible.

“You ask many times if we have a delay in approaching players and making plans, of course a huge delay.

“We are affected by it, players are going out. We are rebuilding, not improving the squad.

“We are up for the challenge. I don’t know where we are from day one (of next season).

“What I can promise is that I will be here – if I can promise that! I will be here with full energy and positive energy no matter what.

“We will still work for Chelsea and I refuse to think of negative scenarios. We will be competitive, on which level we will see.

“On how the delay and sanctions will affect us, there is a risk.

“It will be very challenging to make up for the disadvantage, given the situation of the other two teams, (Manchester) City and Liverpool who are already improving the squad and set one benchmark after the other in all aspects of the game. Things are not easier for us.”
