With Tuchel sacked and Graham Potter coming in, here’s a good summary of what it could mean for CP10.
It is no secret that Christian Pulisic fell out of favour under Tuchel, in quite bizarre fashion.
The American was often granted a run of games before being left out of the team for weeks at a time, despite sharing a strong relationship with Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund.
The 22-year-old's dad took to social media back in May to reveal his frustration.
He wrote: "The sad thing is he loves this club, teammates, and London.… puts his heart and soul into being a pro. Onwards and upwards my boy… big 6 months ahead."
However, Pulisic remained a Chelsea player this summer despite interest from the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle.
He is yet to start this season, with Hakim Ziyechhanded a place in the starting XI ahead of him, but his fortunes could be about to change under Potter.
The Englishman is likely to deploy a forward to play off the striker, where Pulisic could thrive.
He has been used in this role for the USMNT in the past and could use his experience to earn his place back in the team.
Alternatively, he could be used behind a front two or even on the left as Potter looks to find the best fit for his system at Chelsea.
The 47-year-old has a degree in Leadership and Emotional Intelligence and maybe all that Pulisicneeds is an arm around his shoulder and somebody to trust him and allow the winger to play with freedom.

the last line was profound because I just tweeted on my burner this AM that CP did not have the freedom to play his game under Tuchel. Tuchel completely took that away from him. Let’s see if he gets some of it back.
