Pep Guardiola sympathises with Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea's players
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge following the sanctions applied on owner Roman Abramovich, according to reports. Abramovich has had his assets frozen, which has massive implications for Chelsea. But Tuchel is determined to stay on as head coach.
It was announced on Thursday morning that the UK Government had frozen Abramovich's assets.
Chelsea are now not able to sell any tickets or merchandise, and cannot offer new contracts to current players as well as complete transfers.
Abramovich's sale of Chelsea has also been put on hold for the time being.
The Russian put the club up for sale last week and there has been plenty of interest already.
But the 55-year-old's reported links with Russia president Vladimir Putin has seen the UK Government step in.
However, despite the huge uncertainty at Stamford Bridge, their current manager looks set to stay.
The Telegraph claims there has been interest from up to six clubs in Tuchel, with Manchester United one of them.
But the former PSG boss is happy in west London and will not be leaving.
The Telegraph claims the 48-year-old 'loves' working for Chelsea.
However, he may ultimately consider his future depending on who the new owners are once a sale does go through.
And he backed United to make a move for him.
Carragher wrote: "Manchester United have been presented with the ideal opportunity to recruit the manager who should be their number one target: Thomas Tuchel.
"All roads have been leading towards Mauricio Pochettino since the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. After Paris St-Germain's latest Champions League failure, [Mauricio] Pochettino will be available soon.
"But he may have stronger competition for the United job than he could have imagined."

Itโs fascinating how British politicians hates Roman Abramovic and that hatred has been directed to the club and the players. But no matter what happens, There was Chelsea before Abramovic and there will be Chelsea after Abramovic. We the fans will continue to support our team in this period because we have enjoyed success together for almost 20 years. We thrive under adversities and Chelsea will be stronger after the storm. KTBFFH Chelsea!

Roman Abramovich love Chelsea FC and he'll do everything in his power to avoid the team being destroyed. Chelsea FC will have new owners and the best owners for sure he won't sell to British or Americans but the Saudi or Turkish
