Nobody has endured a debut 12 months in England like Thomas Tuchel.
Since arriving at Chelsea in January 2021, the German head coach has won the Champions League, lost the FA Cup final, seen his club-record signing speak out against his methods and watched the man who hired him at Stamford Bridge kicked off the board by the Premier League and the UK Government.
After Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK for his relationship with Russia president Vladimir Putin, in the wake of the country’s invasion of Ukraine, Tuchel has been the public spokesperson for Chelsea – who are unable to do any business at all until the club is sold.
