The Chelsea faithful could be set to welcome Thomas Tuchel back to Stamford Bridge this season, but not in the capacity that some expected. The German coach impressed in his tenure in west London, taking over the squad from Frank Lampard that were struggling to pick themselves up.
Tuchel managed to do just that though, guiding the Blues to an unlikely Champions League final against Manchester City in Porto. In a tight affair, Kai Havertz's chip over Ederson in the clash proved to be the deciding factor, bringing home the trophy for a second time in the club's history.
The former Borussia Dortmund coach had a stellar record in cup competitions, overseeing six finals in his time at the club with three wins in that time. It wasn't enough for him to keep his job as head coach though as new owners Boehly-Clearlake decided to make a change to their philosophy.
