Speaking to Sky Sports' Super Sunday, Carragher believes Tuchel is the most important figure at Chelsea as the club look to change hands after owner Roman Abramovich's assets were frozen by the Government.

Since arriving at Chelsea in January 2021, the German head coach has won the Champions League, lost the FA Cup final, seen his club-record signing speak out against his methods and watched the man who hired him at Stamford Bridge kicked off the board by the Premier League and the UK Government.

After Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK for his relationship with Russia president Vladimir Putin, in the wake of the country's invasion of Ukraine, Tuchel has been the public spokesperson for Chelsea - who are unable to do any business at all until the club is sold.

But, as Blues technical director Petr Cech told Sky Sports on Sunday, matters at Stamford Bridge can change on a day-to-day basis.

So where does that leave Tuchel? Is it worth it for him to stick it out at Chelsea? Or should he use this as an opportunity to quit the Blues?

"I think right now he is vitally important [to Chelsea]," said Carragher. "He's a brilliant manager, we know that from his record, but the way he's handled himself in the last couple of weeks has really shown what kind of a guy he is as well, not just his quality as a football manager.

"He's been the figurehead for Chelsea Football Club for speaking out. He's been getting asked questions constantly before and after games and he's come across really well. He's been a real leader for this football club."

But as Carragher claimed last week, Chelsea's horror situation off the pitch could be good news for their rivals on the pitch.

If a new owner is not found before June 30, then Chelsea will lose key defenders Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer - without being able to offer them new terms or bring in any replacements.

Meanwhile, speculation has been rife over Tuchel's own future, with Carragher talking up Manchester United - who are still on the lookout for a permanent replacement to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - as a potential option for the German.
