The man hoping to become Chelsea’s new owner has heaped praise on manager Thomas Tuchel, labelling the German a "brilliant human".
Candy is one of the parties interested in replacing Roman Abramovich as the new Blues owner following the Russian's decision to put the club up for sale. Abramovich was subsequently sanctioned by the UK government for his links to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the wake of the Ukraine invasion.
The 55-year-old is now unable to make any money from the sale of the Premier League giants, with US-based merchant bank Raine Group helping to facilitate the transaction. The deadline for official bids has now passed, with property tycoon Candy hoping to make the shortlist.
