Thomas Tuchel, after being fired from the "Chelsea" club, issued a statement on social media. The specialist from Germany began his official statement like this: "This is one of the most difficult statements I have ever had to write - and it is one which I hoped I would not need to do for many years. I am devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end. "This is a club where I felt at home: both professionally and personally. Thanks to all the staff, players, and fans who helped me feel this way from the very beginning. "The pride and joy I felt with this club winning the Champions League and Club World Cup will stay with me forever. I am grateful that I could be a part of this club, and the memories from these 19 months at the club will always stay with me," said T. Tuchel. In the role of the head coach of the London club, the German was replaced by Graham Potter, who came from "Brighton".
