Zapping Our Mondial Top 20: players at the end of their contract in the summer of 2021
With six wins and two draws since arriving on the Chelsea bench on January 26, Thomas Tuchel clearly made his debut as a coach of the Blues. However, Roman Abramovich, owner of the club, only signed an 18-month contract for Frank Lampard’s successor, which could have been mistaken for a lack of confidence by the former PSG coach. He also spoke about this contract at the microphone of BT Sport: “At the beginning, I didn’t like it, I said to myself ‘maybe they don’t trust me?’. I have to leave my country, maybe leave my family behind and they have a lot of points behind fourth place. Maybe we won’t make it, which is still possible as it’s a tough race and it will be easy to send me back again. But after just a few minutes of thinking, I took the weight off my shoulders. I said to myself “if I do things well, if they like what I do, they will keep me” “.
“If I’m not good, they’ll fire me anyway”

The former Borussia Dortmund coach therefore preferred to put things into perspective with regard to his short-term contract: “If I’m not good, if I don’t have good results, they will fire me anyway. I can have a five year contract and they could always fire me, so why bother? Do I trust myself? Yes. Am I convinced of this club and this team? Yes and yes. So why bother? From there I got out of the thought cycle and I’m living a little easier now. I don’t care more than that ”. After beating Atlético Madrid last Tuesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (0-1), it is understandable that the German is not worried about his future at the head of the Blues. Thomas Tuchel can therefore remain focused on the reception of Manchester United on Sunday (5.30 p.m.).
