It is a new chapter at Chelsea football club now, and Tuchel has the reigns. Whatever thoughts we have/had about Lampard, it is time to back the new man and hope for success.

What is clear is that the former PSG and Dortmund boss is very excited to be managing this club, and he is full of ideas and determination to bring success and trophies here.

In the off-air questions after the press conference, Tuchel has been talking about falling out with the PSG board, and why he already has great impressions of the Chelsea board who have a ‘very easy structure.’

As reported by Goal, Tuchel said:

“It’s pure passion—also some principles. Your word is your word and I trust the word of a man.

“What I like now and why I am very positive is that I am self-aware that this is a thing to improve, to be also more relaxed and not to be too stubborn in my beliefs.

“The structure that I find here is very clear and a very easy structure. It is easy to understand there are not many people who make the decisions and I can absolutely live with that.

“When things are clear it is on me now as the head coach to adapt and to make my opinion clear and to give the analysis of what I see, what I feel and where I also think that we can still improve and I hope this comes along in the right way.

“I got two titles in the league and we won four in the last season. I got sacked so it was not enough [at PSG],” he added.

“What I meant with the word was, your colleague mentioned difficulties between certain people on the board and me. It came up, I have to admit, in the transfer periods where sometimes the wishes and ideas and from coaches and CEOs and sporting directors do not really match. This can happen sometimes.

“There were no words from Roman Abramovich so far. I spoke to Marina and to Petr Cech and this was first of all confidential and then very trustful. Very honest and very clear. I have the feeling that this structure works for me absolutely to bring out the best. There was no moment of hesitation.

“Honestly, we have to be ready when the new season starts, latest. We have to be ready to compete. Chelsea is the club where you compete for trophies and there is no time to waste.

“As a manager, there is no time to waste. Honestly, now we compete for FA Cup, we will get ready absolutely to compete at the highest level in Champions League and we want to create a team that is absolutely no fun to play against.

“We want to create a team that is confident enough to beat anybody in two games, which is possible, and from the latest start of next season we want to be ready to close the gap to Manchester City, Liverpool.”
