Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that “talks” have been held over a new contract at Chelsea with the German having now entered the final two years of his current Stamford Bridge deal.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain schemer arrived at Stamford Bridge in January 2021 as Frank Lampard’s replacement and enjoyed an immediate impact at the club having lifted the Champions League title and claimed a place in the Premier League top four at the end of the 2020/21 season.
He was immediately rewarded with a new and improved contract in West London and then continued to scoop up silverware with the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup titles despite a title challenge somewhat failing to materialise.
