Thomas Tuchel knows how much work needs to be done at Chelsea over the summer, having admitted as much in the final press conference of the season at Stamford Bridge.
"There are too many things to clarify and give an opinion," Tuchel said when revealing he had no time to go on holiday. "Of course, nowadays, you can have meetings on Zoom so it's not necessary to do everything in person. The first days I will be here anyway and around because my children are in school, so it will start with a bit of a delay to the holidays."
Tuchel will have a chance to reflect on a very long and draining 63-game season. One that felt even longer due to the uncertainty over a change in ownership, several gruelling runs, and devastating defeats in cup finals.
