AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud admits his status at Chelsea fell when Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard in January.
Giroud left Chelsea in the summer for the Rossonero.
He explained to the Athletic: “It was very, very frustrating. It was time to leave the club after three and a half great years."
Nevertheless, it was important to him not to publicise his resentment.
“I didn't understand why I couldn't have played a bigger part in our success. I was a little angry. But I didn't show it, because the most important thing is the team, the solidarity."
