Thomas Tuchel eyes sensational return to Stamford Bridge
Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly eyeing a sensational return to Stamford Bridge as rumors swirl about Mauricio Pochettino’s future.
According to recent reports from SportBILD, Tuchel would entertain the prospect of taking charge of the Blues once again if the managerial position becomes available at the end of the season.
Tuchel, who was sacked during Todd Boehly’s tenure as owner, is said to be intrigued by the idea of reuniting with Chelsea amidst speculation of a fractured relationship between the club’s hierarchy and its current manager, Pochettino.
Despite reaching a cup final this season, Chelsea has struggled to find consistent success and currently finds itself in mid-table obscurity for the second consecutive campaign.
With pressure mounting on Pochettino, reports suggest a divide among the board members regarding the best course of action for the club’s future.
Meanwhile, Tuchel has been steering Bayern Munich through a successful Champions League campaign, even as their Bundesliga title hopes diminish.
His potential departure from Bayern at the end of the season coincides with Chelsea’s managerial uncertainty, presenting an opportune moment for his return.
Having previously led Chelsea to Champions League glory, Tuchel’s track record in European competition adds allure to his candidacy.
His recent victory against Lazio in the Champions League Round of 16 serves as a reminder of his managerial prowess and could serve as a compelling ‘leaving present’ should he depart Bayern for Chelsea.
While the decision regarding Chelsea’s managerial future is expected to be deferred until the end of the season, Tuchel’s availability adds an intriguing subplot to the club’s ongoing saga.
