Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel snapped during Tuesdayâs press conference after being asked questions about the clubâs owner Roman Abramovich.Russian billionaire Abramovich handed âstewardship and careâ of the club to trustees of Chelseaâs charitable foundation on Saturday but remains the Bluesâ owner.A spokesperson said on Monday, per BBC Sport, that Abramovich had been asked by Ukraine to support their attempts to reach a âpeaceful resolutionâ with Russia.Tuchel was asked whether Abramovichâs ownership of Chelsea was a problem following Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine.âIt is a bit too much for me to answer,â the German coach responded."I am not aware of any details and Iâm not aware of the whole situation. There are situations that are much, much more important than football."This will never change. Situations like war are so much more important.âThe role from Mr Abramovich is not on me to comment because I simply donât know enough about it.â
Tuchel snaps after question about Abramovich
As reporters continued to probe about the âhorrors of warâ and Abramovichâs connections, however, Tuchel grew increasingly agitated before snapping.
âNo, listen, listen, listen⦠You have to stop!â Tuchel replied. âIâm not a politician. You have to stop, honestly. I can only repeat it. And I even feel bad to repeat it, because Iâve never experienced war.
âSo even to talk about it, I feel bad, because I am very privileged. I sit here in peace.
"I do the best I can, but you have to stop asking me these questions. I have no answers for you.â
