Tuchel Reiterates Commitment To Crisis-Hit Chelsea

Tuchel Reiterates Commitment To Crisis-Hit Chelsea

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has reiterated his commitment to the club despite an ongoing crisis behind the scenes.

The UK's sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich has put Chelsea in a state of limbo.

A proposed sale of the club has been put on hold and they will not be able to sign new players while these sanctions are still in place and contracts of existing players cannot be renewed.

Ticket sales have been put on hold, meaning only season-ticket holders can attend games for the foreseeable future.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has urged Manchester United to take advantage of Chelsea's situation and poach Tuchel from the club. The German tactician has a contract at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2024.

In spite of the ongoing situation, Tuchel says his immediate future lies with Chelsea.

"There's no doubt I stay until the end of the season," he said after Chelsea's hard-fought 1-0 win over Newcastle United on Sunday.

"We just have to wait day by day because everything can change.

"There are circumstances we can't influence, but that gives us the freedom to focus on the things we can influence.

"The focus is on the first team, our players and me. But Chelsea is much more than just the first team. It is a massive club with huge tradition and there are hundreds of staff. It's not just the players, and it's important we show the spirit and give them the distraction."
