Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has opened up about the turbulent 2022\/23 season he endured at Chelsea, describing it as a \u201cmess\u201d and shedding light on his frustrations with the managerial changes and internal dynamics at the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking to The Athletic<\/em>, the Gabonese striker revealed his disappointment with former Chelsea<\/a> manager Thomas Tuchel<\/a> and successor Graham Potter, calling the experience \u201cvery disrespectful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aubameyang on Short-Lived Tuchel Reunion<\/h3>\n

Aubameyang joined Chelsea in the summer of 2022, reuniting with Thomas Tuchel, who had previously managed him at Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

The striker, who had recently left Barcelona following a brief stint after his Arsenal<\/a> departure, admitted that he only considered the move because of Tuchel\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n

However, their reunion was short-lived. Aubameyang debuted under Tuchel in a 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. It was a game that left the striker questioning Tuchel\u2019s demeanour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember that day because I didn\u2019t recognise him,\u201d Aubameyang said. \u201cIt was not the guy I knew a few years ago. At Chelsea, it was like something was wrong. He wasn\u2019t enjoying his time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuchel was sacked the next day, leaving Aubameyang disillusioned.<\/p>\n

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Thomas Tuchel:<\/p>\n

"We lost [to Dinamo Zagreb] and he was p***ed off. Usually, he would go crazy but he came to the dressing room and then left. I was like, \u2018This is not the guy I know. Very strange\u2019. The next day, he was sacked."<\/p>\n[via @David_Ornstein<\/a>]\n
