LONDON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - New Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel admitted the past few days had been surreal as he prepared to take charge of his first match against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
The 47-year-old former Borussia Dortmund and Paris St Germain coach was confirmed as sacked Frank Lampard's replacement on Tuesday and was in the dugout 24 hours later hoping to halt the poor form that cost Lampard his job.
"You can't imagine the last 48, 72 hours it has been a bit surreal but we are right here now and playing a match with Chelsea, it's been an amazing few days," he said.
