Thomas Tuchel forced to leave UK after Chelsea decision following ruthless sack

Thomas Tuchel will be forced to leave the UK next month as a result of Chelsea 's decision to sack him and new post- Brexit laws.

The Blues booted out their Champions League -winning manager in early September, but unlike two members of his coaching staff - who can stay in England with their families - he wasn't put on gardening leave. According to the Telegraph, Tuchel is currently preparing to leave London in December due to visa laws which were enforced after Britain left the European Union in January 2020.

Zsolt Low and Benjamin Webber, the German coach's right-hand men during his 19-month spell in charge at Stamford Bridge, are still technically under contract at Chelsea. Tuchel, however, wasn't afforded the same luxury by the Todd Boehly -Clearlake Capital regime, who made it their first big decision to ruthlessly sack the incumbent Blues boss after buying the club for £4.25billion in May.
