Thomas Tuchel previously claimed he "wanted to have a connection" with his players whilst also citing their responsibility in managing the dressing room.
The German has been linked with the Manchester United job having proved himself in England with Chelsea. Tuchel has already led the Blues to the Champions League but the uncertainty around the club's future has now seen his future come under the spotlight.
United are on the lookout for a new permanent boss with Ralf Rangnick's interim spell coming to an end in May. The likes of Mauricio Pochettino and Erik Ten Hag have been linked with the role but now Tuchel's name has been thrown into the ring due to the precarious nature Chelsea find themselves in.
