Kai Havertz has suggested that Chelsea have made mistakes this season, risking upsetting the club's hierarchy by claiming the sacking of Thomas Tuchel has had a negative impact on the club's fortunes this season.
Tuchel was relieved of his duties in September 2022, after a defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. However, with disagreements at the top, there were believed to be a range of factors contributing to the departure of the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund manager, who has since taken over at Bayern Munich.
Havertz enjoyed a successful Chelsea career with Tuchel at the helm, scoring the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City. He was also picked as the leading striker ahead of Romelu Lukaku on a number of occasions last season, scoring 14 goals in all competitions under the management of his compatriot.
