The German professional parted ways with the Blues at the start of the 2022/23 campaign following the club’s Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

After a five-month break, the manager found a job at Bayern Munich ahead of the Bundesliga team’s meeting with Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Being asked about his feelings regarding the Chelsea departure, Tuchel told the media: “Chelsea was like family to me, so… it still hurts. I’m very happy here at Bayern now.”

Tuchel admitted he is still in good relationship with people at Chelsea and “that’s not going to change”.
