Chelsea are preparing for their final game of the season against Watford, with the West London outfit almost guaranteed to finish third after a difficult run. Thomas Tuchel ’s first full campaign at Stamford Bridge has been a rollercoaster.
The German coach guided the Blues to a European Super Cup and Club World Cup victory, but fell to defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals and lost on penalties to Liverpool in both domestic cup finals.
Off the pitch it has been a battle too, with uncertainty surrounding the club since March, when Roman Abramovich announced his intentions to sell the club before he was sanctioned by the UK Government. A takeover is yet to be completed, with each passing day adding to the delay of the summer transfer plans.
