Thomas Tuchel has broken his silence on his dismissal from Chelsea as head coach. The 49-year-old said that he is devastated to have left Stamford Bridge after nearly two years at the helm - a place where he called home 'both professionally and personally.'
In a heartfelt statement posted on Twitter, Tuchel thanked the staff, players and Blues fans for making him feel 'very welcome from the start' of what proved to be a greatly successful tenure in west London. The German's message read: "This is one of the most difficult statements I have ever had to write - and it is one which I hoped I would not need to do for many years.
"I am devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end. This is a club where I felt at home, both professionally and personally.
