Thiago Silva has praised Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel for his 'knowledge'.

The Brazilian admits he is not far away from retirement, but in the meantime, he is loving learning from Tuchel.

Speaking in an interview with Globo Esporte, the Brazilian said: "It's [retirement] still far away. But at the same time it's close. The coolest thing is that I'm close to very capable people.

"This gives you knowledge of the situation, of what you want. Not only here, but also at Chelsea with Tuchel.

"I hope that for my coaching career this can add a lot to me. I learned and continue to learn important things for football and for life."
