Tuchel appreciates his position at Chelsea

boss Thomas Tuchel believes the situation has been perfect for him since his first day at the club.

Tuchel was sacked as

manager in December 2020 after poor results and was named Chelsea manager in January 2021. The club did not have much confidence in getting good results with the German coach and therefore signed an 18-month contract with him. However, Tuchel has proven his abilities and won the trust of the club by winning the Champions League as well as leading the Premier League this season and winning 8 of 10 games. Now he is satisfied with his situation at Stamford Bridge.

He told reporters:

"You need a bit of luck; you can't win the Champions League through planning and effort alone. It's not like this. You need luck and when it's meant to be.

"I am in this place because of my experience at other clubs and teams. I am grateful I learned at academy level, that some people in my career trusted me and gave me confidence, starting with my parents and the bosses in the youth academies.

"The target is to get better every day, every match, never stop progressing as a coach. Now it seems to be the perfect fit for me from day one. I am super happy to be part of the club and maybe this is the last per cent.

"If you feel happy and appreciated, you are able to produce results together. I am part of a big team, a big club. This is how I see myself. I wasn't happy to be sacked [by PSG] because I had big plans for the Champions League, big plans to win the league again.

"But then some weeks later came a huge opportunity and I had the desire to step into this adventure was bigger than the fear about an 18-month contract. You need to be brave, courageous and I have the feeling I got a big reward. I am happy where I am."
