Tuchel's beautiful gesture to Lampard: he asked Chelsea to reconsider sacking him

Last season was a complete emotional rollercoaster for Chelsea. The Blues got off to a bad start, sacked Lampard, brought in Tuchel as an emergency solution and the German won the Champions League.

Now, it has emerged that the coach of success for Abramovich's side was hesitant to accept the job. He had just been sacked at PSG and asked the Chelsea board to think carefully about whether sacking such a legend was the right decision.

"I actually said to the board, 'are you sure of doing this? Because they will not like you. Maybe he deserves more time.' Because when I think of Chelsea I think about Frank Lampard, John Terry, Petr Cech, Didier Drogba...," Tuchel explained on 'Sky'.

The coach, who then managed to create a perfect gear, argued his thinking: "I think about him in the very first moment because he embodies everything that Chelsea is: hard work, aggressive player, big leader but at the same time a normal guy on the pitch and such a team player. A true, true legend."
