Thomas Tuchel admits talks over a new contract have been held between his representatives and Chelsea – and the German says the prospect of remaining in charge at Stamford Bridge beyond his current deal is "a good thing".
When Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as head coach in January 2021, he was only handed an 18-month contract by then-Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. Yet fresh terms were agreed in the aftermath of the Blues' Champions League triumph that tied him to the club until the summer of 2024.
Tuchel has since guided Chelsea to the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup; the 48-year-old also became a statesman-like figure during the takeover of the club from Abramovich by the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital consortium.
