The art of rebounding. Only a month after his ouster from Paris SG, Thomas Tuchel has found a prestigious sideline, succeeding Frank Lampard on the side of Chelsea. The German has signed an 18-month contract with the Blues, until June 2022. After reflection.
Initially, the technician preferred to wait until the end of the season and embrace a longer term project. Scared by the record indemnities paid to its many fired coaches, the club did not wish to offer him a longer lease. The person finally gave in at the prospect of coaching another big name in Europe so quickly, hoping to go beyond his initial contract.
Work to be done
And to do this, TT knows the challenge he has to meet at the head of the London team. The Daily Mail reveals that his lease will be extended if and only if the coach manages to qualify the residents of Stamford Bridge for the next two editions of the Champions League.
Two options for this season. 6 points behind Leicester City, 4th, he can still believe it via the Premier League. The tactician has also proved with Paris SG that he can go far in the Champions League, a competition in which Chelsea are still involved and will play in the 8th an Atlético de Madrid fully engaged in the fight for the title in La Liga. If he succeeds, via one of these routes, the native of Krumbach will have gained some credit for 2021/22. The conditions of the deal are set. If he wants to last, Tuchel will have to win.
