Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel isn't going to quit the club amid reports linking him with the Manchester United job this week, in spite of the current turmoil around Stamford Bridge.Earlier today it was announced that Blues owner Roman Abramovich's UK-based assets had been frozen, plunging the European Champions into financial peril.The 55-year-old announced last week that he had decided to sell the club in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but has now been banned from doing any business in the UK by the government.Despite Chelsea's uncertain long-term future, it's understood that Tuchel has no intention of leaving.Sources close to the German claim he "loves" working for the club - but warned that he may consider his future depending on who the new owners turn out to be, and how they choose to run Chelsea.Ministers are apparently open to the idea of allowing Abramovich to sell the club providing he doesn't benefit financially from the sale.The Russian pledged to donate the net proceeds of the sale to "all victims of the war in Ukraine", though it isn't clear whether he'll still have any authority to do this with the British government now in charge of overseeing the process.Will Thomas Tuchel be Chelsea manager next season?
