New Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel’s strong start in London has drawn comparisons with some of Stamford Bridge’s most successful managers but the German says the Blues still have a long way to go to make this season a success. Tuchel’s start has only been bettered by Carlo Ancelotti, who led Chelsea to a league and FA Cup double, and Maurizio Sarri under whom the Blues won the Europa League in 2019. “It was a good run so far but we will have a long way to go.”Chelsea were languishing in mid-table when Tuchel replaced Lampard less than a month ago. However, Tuchel said Edouard Mendy remained his first choice keeper. The German also believed Chelsea have room for improvement, especially in attack.
