Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has broken his silence after Thomas Tuchel was removed from his post as Chelsea manager.
The Chelsea striker admitted he was saddened by the news of the German manager’s sacking, adding that he plans to talk to his former coach ‘as soon as possible’.
Tuchel signed Aubameyang with Chelsea on the day of the transfer deadline on September 1, but lost his job just a week later. The two were also associated with Borussia Dortmund from 2015 to 2017.

Aubameyang told Hayters TV after Chelsea’s disappointing 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday evening: ‘Everyone knows the relationship I had with Thomas. It’s always a shame when someone leaves the club. I’ve only seen him for a few days, of course.
“When you play football, you have to adapt very quickly to certain moments in the season, that can happen.
“I think he was obviously a little frustrated and sad. I will try to speak to him as soon as possible. It’s been a crazy week for all of us, that’s part of life, we have to adapt.

“I think it’s a bit sad at the moment, hopefully we’ll get back to better days soon. Of course I think it’s a bit strange for everyone, not just me, but like I said, this is football, you have to adapt.

“When you play for Chelsea, you need results as soon as possible, that’s why I’m a little frustrated today.”
Aubameyang was brought in by Tuchel at the last minute to bolster the Blues forward after the club chased the former Barcelona star for several weeks during the transfer window.
But Chelsea fans didn’t get a chance to see the partnership in action in the Premier League, as Tuchel was eliminated hours after the 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb.
In 95 appearances under Tuchel at Dortmund, the former Arsenal and Barcelona speedster scored 79 goals and assisted a further 17 in arguably the Gabon international’s most fruitful partnership.
Aubameyang has yet to score a goal for his new side since his arrival, after playing 125 minutes in the Champions League but assisting Raheem Sterling’s opening game against Salzburg.
Under the German, Aubameyang scored 79 goals and 12 assists in just 95 games in Germany
