Antonio Rudiger left Chelsea to join Real Madrid on a free this summer. However, he had a strong bond with his former manager and compatriot Thomas Tuchel.
In a recent interview, Antonio Rudiger revealed he was shocked when he heard Tuchel’s sacking. He would go on to express his sadness as well.
“I was surprised, it was upsetting,” Rudiger told SPORT1.
“When you compare our beginning to where he took us. We achieved the impossible. But that is the game and that’s how it works.
Furthermore, the centre-back also shared his relationship with his current manager, Ancelotti. He would go on to say the coach is ‘untouchable’.
“I had only been in the City for a few hours. My family were barbecuing and the doorbell sounded,” Rudiger recalled. “I opened ito see Ancelotti standing there in front of me.
“He sat down and ate with us, getting to know my family. Very normal, very down-to-earth. He was there for a couple of hours, as we discussed everything.
“To be honest, Ihave never seen anything like this. No one has ever done something for me in that manner.
“After these months with him, I have to say: When it comes to dealing with players, Ancelotti is untouchable. Don Carlo, a coaching legend – he was already collecting Champions League titles when I was a child.”
