JAKARTA - Thomas Tuchel is no longer silent. He finally opened his voice after being fired by Chelsea, recently.
In a written statement, Tuchel admitted that he felt devastated after being fired as Chelsea manager. He also admitted that it was difficult to give a statement regarding the dismissal.
"Ini adalah salah satu pernyataan saya yang paling sulit yang harus saya tulis yang saya berharap tak perlu saya lakukan selama sekian lama," tulis Tuchel yang diunggah ke media sosial Twitter.
"I feel devastated that my tenure at Chelsea must end. This is a club I consider a home, both professionally and privately," he continued, as reported by Antara.
As is known, the 49-year-old German manager was relieved of his duties after the Blues were arrested by Dinamo Zagreb in the inaugural Champions League match.
The day after sacking Tuchel, Chelsea appointed Graham Potter as their new manager.
"The pride and cheerfulness that I felt when bringing this team to win the Champions League and the Club World Cup will remain preserved," said Tuchel.
"I am honored to have been a part of the club's history and memories in the last 19 months will always get a special place in my heart," concluded Tuchel.
Tuchel's dismissal is actually still a big question mark for some people. The reason is, he has not failed even though Chelsea performed inconsistently at the start of this season.
There are allegations that Tuchel was fired for another reason. One of them is rejecting the advancement of Chelsea's boss, Todd Boehly, signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
