In an interview, Werner was asked to assess his time spent at the Stamford Bridge club. He said his departure from the team was due to the manager no longer wanting him ( Thomas Tuchel).
Don’t misjudge my time at Stamford Bridge. I finally won the Champions League. And privately I met a lot of great people, found friends. In the end, I was no longer part of the coach’s plan. You have to accept that and find a way for yourself to deal with it.
He also discussed some advise he gave to Christopher Nkunku, who will be joining Chelsea at the conclusion of the current football season, 2022–23. The German confirmed that he had told him that a greater degree of competition existed to join the team.
