Revealed:Thomas Tuchel reveals his thought towards Manchester United sacking Ole .
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed
that he will not be thinking too much about
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking by Manchester
United. Solskjaer was relieved of his duties
as Red Devils boss yesterday (November 21)
following Manchester United's humiliating
4-1 loss at Watford.
At a press conference ahead of Chelsea's
UEFA Champions League tie with Juventus,
Tuchel was asked what he thought about
Solskjaer's sacking. The German tactician
replied:
Tuchel was further prodded about clubs
having to change managers mid-season,
which is Manchester United's situation at
the moment. The Chelsea boss replied:
It is worth noting that Tuchel arrived at
Stamford Bridge midway through the
2020-21 season, replacing Frank Lampard.
The German instantly improved Chelsea,
leading them to the FA Cup final and
UEFA Champions League glory last
season.
This season Tuchel will look to guide the
Blues to a first Premier League title since
the 2016-17 season.
While Thomas Tuchel's mid-season arrival
at Chelsea sparked instant results and
silverware, the same was not true for Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.
Solskjaer joined the Red Devils midway
through the 2018-19 season.
The Norwegian began well, with Manchester
United winning multiple matches at the start
of his tenure. However, Solskjaer's side slowly
fell off the pace, finishing the season sixth
in the Premier League. The following season,
Manchester United improved to finish third
and went one step further to finish second
last season.
However, Solskjaer's inability to bring in
trophies was largely criticized. Many believed
the 2021-22 season would be the Manchester
United legend's chance to take that final
step after an excellent transfer window. Far
from it, Solskjaer has now departed the Red
Devils after just 12 Premier League matches.
Manchester United don't seem to have planned
for the Norwegian's exit and have revealed
that they will be looking for an interim manager
to see out the season. Michael Carrick is
currently in charge of the club, with the
likes of Laurent Blanc, Mauricio Pochettino
and Zinedine Zidane linked with a move to
Old Trafford.
However, most of the managers on
Manchester United's priority list don't seem
keen to join the club midway through the season.
