Thomas Tuchel has opened up on his Chelsea departure as he gears up for his first game as Bayern Munich boss. The German champions are looking to go back to the top of Bundesliga with a win over rivals Borussia Dortmund - another of Tuchel's former clubs - but it was admissions about the Blues that attracted fan attention.
Having been sacked in September the day after his 100th match in charge - a shock 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League - Tuchel was swiftly replaced by former Brighton boss Graham Potter. The Englishman has had struggles in charge as well and has seen the club drop to tenth in the League.
Potter's big success so far has been in the Champions League, a competition that Tuchel excelled in during his 19 months at Stamford Bridge. With a slow start to the campaign for the fan favourite - following on from a poor pre-season and misalignment behind the scenes - Tuchel was dismissed though and not given the opportunity to turn things around under the new owners.
