Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has admitted he has been left with ‘mixed feelings’ after being reunited with former PSG boss Thomas Tuchel and also seeing Frank Lampard sacked as Chelsea boss.

He said: “It’s been a tough week with the departure of one manager and the arrival of a new one.

“I have a really good relationship and get on well with them both.

“The six months I spent working with Frank were fantastic. And I had two unbelievable years with Tuchel in Paris too, including getting to the final of the Champions League.

“It’s been a really unique week for me, different to anything I’ve experienced before, because when managers have changed before, the incoming coach has never been someone I’ve already worked with, who I already have such a good relationship with.

“It’s always been new managers who I’ve not worked with before. So I’m left with mixed feelings. Sadness for one, happiness for the other.”
