Dembele sorry to see Tuchel leave

Ousmane Dembele has spoken of his
disappointment at the departure of Thomas Tuchel
from Borussia Dortmund.
Dembele was brought to Dortmund by Tuchel in
July from Stade Rennais and flourished under the
43-year-old's leadership, scoring 10 goals in his
debut campaign.
That relationship ended last month, though, when
Tuchel was removed from his position as head
coach - to be replaced by Peter Bosz.
Tuchel left his role at Signal Iduna Park after two
seasons in charge, the latter seeing Dortmund lift
the DFB-Pokal and qualify for the Champions
League, and Dembele was sad to see him go.
"I'm disappointed because he is a coach who
trusted me a lot," the forward told Sky Sports
Deutschland.
"He was always there for me and brought me on a
lot.
"He is a very good coach with whom I had a great
time. But that's how football is, our management
decided like this."
Tuchel's relationship with Dortmund appeared to
break down after their rearranged Champions
League quarter-final with Monaco, which was
rescheduled less than 24 hours after BVB's team
bus was subjected to a bomb attack.
The coach voiced his displeasure at the situation -
much to the ire of CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke -
and Dembele claimed the players were very much
on Tuchel's side.
"The atmosphere inside the bus was frightening,"
he added. "The next morning was a catastrophe.
And then we had to play football.
"That was something that wasn't on our mind.
Nobody was capable of playing that match. UEFA
had scheduling problems but no one of us was in a
state of going out to play.
"Many of us did not want to play, in fact nearly all
of us. But we couldn't do anything about it. We
were forced to play. The coach was completely
with us, he also did not have the head for a football
match.
"We were united in our view but that's the way it
is." Follow breaking news, entertainment news, politics, sports, comedy,tech, browsing cheat, join this Whatsapp group
