Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia treats Thomas Tuchel to dinner and a magic show ahead of FA Cup clash
CHELSEA chief Marina Granovskaia treated Thomas Tuchel and staff to a nice dinner and magic show ahead of their FA Cup clash against Plymouth Argyle.
The European champions have a busy month ahead of them with two trophies up for grabs.
Chelsea will compete in the Club World Cup next week and towards the end of the month they will play Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
And to reward Tuchel, as well as his staff for their success at Chelsea, chief Granovskaia treated them to dinner and a magic show with David Redfearn.
Granovskaia and Tuchel were all smiles as they posed alongside Chelsea’s resident magician Redfearn.
In the picture, Tuchel can be seen holding a card as if he had taken part in one of Redfearn’s mesmerising tricks.
Redfearn posted the picture on Instagram, writing: “What an honour!
“Performed magic last night to the total gentleman Thomas Tuchel, Marina Granovskaia and the Chelsea backroom staff. #magician”

Defeats to title rivals Manchester City and top four hopefuls West Ham were in that ten-game period, as well as draws to Everton, Wolves, Brighton and Liverpool.
