Thomas Tuchel's sacking earlier this month would have come as a shock to many members of the Chelsea squad. Tuchel was a popular figure and the likes of Reece James and Ben Chilwell took to social media following his sacking to thank the German head coach.
Tuchel's departure also would have come as a huge surprise to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Chelsea just five days before the 49-year-old was told his time at Stamford Bridge was up.
Aubameyang has thrived under Tuchel's management during their time together at Borussia Dortmund, and his influence was a major reason as to why the Gabon international joined the club from Barcelona.
