Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has sent his congratulations to Blues owner Roman Abramovich after the club won their first FIFA Club World Cup title by defeating Brazilian side Palmeiras 2-1 after extra time. In the aftermath of celebrations, which included Abramovich high-fiving the German manager, the Blues boss sent the Russian billionaire a congratulatory message when he spoke to the media post-match.
Thomas Tuchel said: “It’s for him. There is no doubt it’s for him. We met shortly on the pitch after the final and I said congratulations and he said congratulations. I said, ‘it’s for you, it’s your club and it’s your input passion that made this possible’. We are happy to be part of it. Of course, the trophy is for him.”
Will these congratulatory exchanges between the two result in a big summer transfer window in the making after the disappointment that came about with no fresh faces coming through the door in January?
