Keane speaks on Tuchel’s future at Chelsea

Former Man Utd star Roy Keane has tipped Thomas Tuchel to remain at Chelsea irrespective of the rough time he is going through at Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel saw two of his defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave the club to join Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, leave this summer.

He also saw Belgian striker, Romelu Lukaku return to Inter Milan on loan.

And as of now, there are claims of other players leaving before the transfer window closes including the club’s captain, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

Chelsea finished 19 points behind champions, Manchester City last season and despite all of this Keane is confident the German is still the right man for the job..

Asked whether Chelsea could have a new manager by Christmas, Keane told Sky Bet: “No, I don’t think so. There has obviously been loads of uncertainty over the club the last few months, that has been sorted out now obviously with the new ownership coming in.

“I’m pretty sure again he will be able to bring some players in. He is a top quality manager, he has dealt with a lot of issues over the last few months.

“Ultimately, it was a disappointing end to the season for them. But he is a top quality manager and I think the owners will back him. I’d be amazed if he is not there at Christmas.”
