Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he hopes Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech stay after Roman Abramovich sells up.

There is great uncertainty over the long-term future of director Granovskaia and former Chelsea goalkeeper Cech, who now works as technical and performance advisor.

"This will not be my choice," he admitted. "This is a part of it (the uncertainty around the club).

"I can only tell you that until now it was an excellent relationship that worked so, so well for me and hopefully also for the two others - to take these decisions and to have the updates in a small circle of communications and responsibility.

"Hopefully it will stay like this but I have no influence over it and information if it will."
