Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has admitted that Thomas Tuchel was "frustrated and sad" when he was sacked as Chelsea boss but insisted the Blues players must adapt quickly to his successor Graham Potter.
Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea in May 2021, yet just 15 months later he was gone after a dire run of form inspired new Blues owner Todd Boehly to pull the trigger and dismiss the German from his post as manager. His final game as boss came in Europe in the form of a 1-0 defeat away at Dinamo Zagreb.
Aubameyang played an hour of that clash before being withdrawn given the former Barcelona man is still shy of full-match fitness. The striker enjoyed a good working relationship with Tuchel during their shared time at Borussia Dortmund, which is why both parties were so keen to reunite at Stamford Bridge.
