Sacked Chelsea boss Tuchel explains visiting Ayurvedic centre in India

Sacked Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is currently in India at a health retreat.

The German was axed by owner Todd Boehly last month after a difficult start to the season.

Tuchel, 49, has since travelled to India for three weeks of Ayurvedic rejuvenation - a type of therapy that aims to balance the mind, body and spirit.

While over there, the German spoke to Sportstar to reflect on his time at Stamford Bridge.

On his axing, he said: "I loved every day at Chelsea.

"It came to an end too early for me, but it was out of my hands. This is also what you sign up for."

On his therapy experience, Tuchel said: "I was curious. One of my assistant coaches was here six years ago.

"He told me good things about this place. I have always been aware of the principles of Ayurveda.

"After a long period of coaching, there was a possibility of taking a break for me, so I came here. The experience has been fantastic.

"I feel energised and calm. I would recommend this to everybody who wants to discipline the body and the mind."
