Chelsea: Why Tuchel WILL NOT "recommend" Nagelsmann to former club
Nagelsmann will not get a recommendation to join Chelsea from Bayern Munich successor Tuchel, despite being heavily linked to takeover the Blues helm.
Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has broken silence over the club’s sacking of Graham Potter…
The dismissal of the former Brighton boss came as an initial shock, considering the backing that Todd Boehly had given Potter.
That backing came in the form of a gigantic injection of more than £550million into the squad during Potter’s tenure of less than seven months.
The club’s latest decision screams desperation from the Chelsea board and now paints the prior sacking of Tuchel in an even uglier light.
Having already admitted that his dismissal from Stamford Bridge took him “a while to process”, Tuchel will surely sympathise on a coach-on-coach basis, but understands the drastic change of approach under the new regime, claiming that Potter’s sacking “affected me less.”
WHAT’S THE WORD?
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Julian Nagelsmann will not get a recommendation to join Chelsea from Bayern Munich successor Tuchel, despite being heavily linked to takeover the Blues helm.
Champions League winner Tuchel was asked:
“Would you recommend Nagelsmann to join Chelsea?”
Romano took to his personal Twitter page to relay Tuchel’s response to the media’s crafty question.
The new Bayern boss had this to say:
“Julian is not gonna ask me because he doesn't need my advice. I received the news of Potter's sacking yesterday on my cell phone as a push notification”.
“CLASSY” TUCHEL
According to Sports Scientist Dr. Rajpal Brar, the Bayern boss gave a “classy answer”, with the media clearly trying to trip the 49-year-old up in their questioning.
As ever, Tuchel kept his composure and stayed true to himself, addressing the fact Chelsea “has changed massively” since his dismissal.
Staying calm and collected in tense affairs is just one of the reasons why his managerial CV includes the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and now, of course, Bayern Munich.
THE FINAL SAY
Ultimately, Chelsea’s dismissal of Tuchel seemed like the wrong move at the time.
Of course, the appointment of Potter made for an exciting one, bearing in mind his identity as a promising English coach with real tactical nous. And of course, considering the former Brighton boss’ rise to the pinnacle of the managerial food chain - which also generated real buzz.
Should Potter have been given more time? In my opinion, yes.
Could Potter have turned things around? Quite possibly.
But, this is the state of the modern game.
As we know, the narratives in football move fast. So fast, in-fact, that we may just see Nagelsmann become the successor of Potter at Chelsea in a surreal interlinking narrative involving the managerial trio of Tuchel, Potter and Nagelsmann.
Football is a soap opera.
