Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he's not involved in their pursuit of a new sporting director.

Tuchel was asked about the situation after victory over West Ham.

He said, "I'm not involved in that, I have to say. I am so, so happy. I had the feeling for one-and-a-half days, I shifted back to 100% being a coach, which I enjoy a lot and where my full energy will go from now on. We need that energy going into the team.

"It's a very complex situation with sporting directors and which role they have. They are very different in different countries and clubs.

"It's no secret that I loved to work with Petr [Cech]. The communication and having this kind of legend at Cobham, who took care of not only our building but the academy and the culture of the club, was a pure pleasure for me. It's a big change not to have him, and we're still adapting. I am not actively involved in the search or building of a new structure. I'm not so sure it is my job."
