Thomas Tuchel Branded A ‘Disgrace’ For Not Wearing A Suit To FA Cup Final

The Blues boss kept it casual - as did his players - as they arrived at Wembley, before they lost 1-0 to Leicester City. Afterwards, Tuchel's lack of effort with his attire was branded disgraceful by ex-Manchester United striker Andy Cole and Arsenal legend Perry Groves.

"I'm not having a lack of awareness," said Cole about Tuchel on talkSPORT. "If he's watched an FA Cup, which no doubt he has, come on."

"It's a disgrace. Because in everyone's head, the FA Cup is slowly but surely losing its place in our English hearts - not mine, but for a lot of people - and he [Tuchel] did that to the FA Cup."

Brendan Rodgers was suited and booted on the touchline as he watched Youri Tielemans' spectacular strike give his side a victory, while his players also arrived at Wembley in suits.

But plenty of football fans couldn't seem to care less about what clothing a manager chooses to wear, with some pointing out that Frank Lampard - Tuchel's predecessor at Chelsea - and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta did not wear suits for last season's FA Cup final.

"I don't like to see people turning up to the FA Cup in tracksuits," he said on the BBC's live coverage of the game, per SunSport. "It's not what this game is about, we saw all the lead-up, the suits is what it is about.
