The former Chelsea manager admits he feels sympathy but insists that managers are ultimately "responsible" for the results.
“I have the biggest respect for him. He’s a huge character. But we are responsible for the results,” Tuchel told the media.
“I feel for every manager, and have huge sympathy, especially in this spot (being sacked) I was in the same spot and it was horrible.”
