Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he has turned down opportunities to return to management following his sacking by Chelsea.
Tuchel was let go by the Blues last month following an opening-day Champions League loss away to Dinamo Zagreb. It was a surprise decision to dismiss the German coach, who had won the Champions League title with the club just over 12 months previously.
The boss was not interested in taking over at Aston Villa following the sacking of Steven Gerrard last week. Earlier this month, a report from German media outlet Sport 1 suggested Bayer Leverkusen made an approach to appoint the out-of-work Tuchel, before moving to appoint Xabi Alonso.
