Reward for Thomas Tuchel (48)!
According to the English “Sun”, Chelsea want to extend the coach’s contract, which runs until 2024, by two years ahead of schedule. Apparently the talks are already underway.
Accordingly, the new club owner Todd Boehly (48) also offers Tuchel a salary increase. According to the English media, the German currently earns the equivalent of 8.3 million euros per year.
The timing comes as a surprise! On Sunday, Tuchel caused a big scandal with his freak out against Tottenham coach Antonio Conte (53).
After the scandal, there’s the contract!
With the extension, Boehly wants to honor Tuchel’s loyalty during the uncertain situation in May. At that time, Chelsea’s finances were frozen because of the sanctions against former Russian owner Roman Abramovich (55).
