"I think I am under contract until 2024. Let's stay with this, and let's try to stay as long as this contract says because history tells us it is not that easy," the words of Thomas Tuchel back in January after reflecting on 12 months in the Chelsea dugout.
"But I feel very comfortable today that I can make it, and I don't want to be anywhere else. I feel very happy, and let's see what is going on."
Almost four-and-a-half months since those comments from Tuchel, plenty has changed at Chelsea Football Club. Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale just days before the UK Government decided to sanction the Russian billionaire - leaving the future of the Blues up in the air.
