In a surprising turn of events, Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea manager, has expressed his desire to return to Stamford Bridge, less than two years after his departure. According to Metro, Tuchel has already spoken to Chelsea officials, indicating his interest in taking the reins once again.
Tuchel’s first stint at Chelsea was marked by significant success, including winning the Champions League, Super Cup, and Club World Cup. Despite his achievements, he was surprisingly sacked by the club’s new owners, Clearlake Capital, in September 2022, just 100 days into their tenure.
Since his departure from Chelsea, Tuchel has had a tumultuous time at Bayern Munich, where he struggled to replicate his previous success. His tenure at the German giants was marked by inconsistent results and a disappointing third-place finish in the Bundesliga.
Despite his recent struggles, Tuchel remains a highly respected and sought-after manager in the football world. His ability to adapt to new situations and his tactical acumen make him an attractive option for Chelsea, who are currently searching for a new manager following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino.
Tuchel’s desire to return to Stamford Bridge is reportedly driven by his unfinished business at the club. He has maintained a strong connection with the players and staff, and his passion for the club remains unwavering.
While Chelsea have also been linked to other managers, such as Roberto De Zerbi and Kieran McKenna, Tuchel’s experience and familiarity with the club make him a strong contender for the role.
