Thomas Tuchel’s Unexpected Decision on Returning to Chelsea
Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea manager, could be making a surprising return to the club this summer, as reported by sources in Germany. Despite being sacked by Chelsea in September 2022, Tuchel is said to be open to rejoining the Premier League side once he leaves Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich recently announced Tuchel’s departure after less than two full seasons in charge, leaving the 50-year-old manager free to explore other opportunities. Chelsea, on the other hand, are facing a decision regarding Mauricio Pochettino’s future following calls from supporters for his dismissal after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Brentford.
According to SportBild, Tuchel had initially considered Manchester United as a potential destination but now believes Erik ten Hag will remain in charge for another season. Instead, Tuchel is reportedly willing to return to Chelsea if co-owner Todd Boehly is willing to put aside their previous differences that led to Tuchel’s departure from Stamford Bridge.
Reflecting on his exit from Chelsea a year ago, Tuchel expressed his love for the club and the bond he shared with the staff. Despite the shock of being let go, Tuchel still feels the pain of not being able to work with the team on a daily basis and misses the camaraderie of the dressing room.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will consider bringing back Tuchel and if the German manager will have the opportunity to reunite with the club he once led to success. As the summer transfer window approaches, fans will be eager to see how this unexpected turn of events unfolds in the world of football.
