Coach Thomas Tuchel admitted he feels more appreciated at Chelsea than at Bayern Munich.
Chelsea surprisingly fired Thomas Tuchel in September 2022 and replaced him with Graham Potter. This is a decision made by Chelsea’s new owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
Chelsea fans are still singing Tuchel’s name four months after he was sacked. The German coach is always respected by Chelsea fans for bringing home the Champions League championship.
Even though he only spent 19 months at Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel won many hearts of fans. Under his leadership, Chelsea won the Champions League, Club World Cup and European Super Cup. In addition, the team also reached the finals of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup but unfortunately could not be crowned.
Despite winning the Bundesliga last season, Tuchel is still criticized by Bayern fans. Currently, he is also under a lot of pressure because the “Gray Tigers” are only ranked 2nd on the Bundesliga rankings.
When asked if he was more appreciated in England or Germany, Tuchel replied: “A simple question. I feel we are very strict with each other in Germany, especially with the players and coaches. This is very difficult to avoid. It’s true that I feel more appreciated in England.”
Tuchel will be judged more on Bayern’s performances in the Champions League. This season, Bayern passed the group stage very easily. They will face Lazio in the next round and their chances of moving forward are relatively clear.
