Tuchel has eyes set on the Bridge after admitting he is interested in taking over the Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel has admitted he’s ‘interested’ in taking over at Chelsea after being sacked by Paris Saint-Germain.

Having looked in fine fettle a matter of weeks ago, we have endured a nightmare festive period, having lost three of their last four league games and pretty much ending their chase to win that Premier League title this season.

Lampard has 27 wins, 11 draws and 16 defeats from his 54 league games in charge since replacing Maurizio Sarri in the summer of 2019, and The Boxing Day defeat at Arsenal and draw at home to Aston Villa on Monday mean his win percentage has dropped to 50 per cent.

That has led to even more speculation in the media about the next manager that will be heading to the club, as the pressure mounts on the head of Lampard, with Tuchel now tipped to make the move to the Premier League after getting the sack at PSG.

It has been claimed in the British media over the past few days that Tuchel has indicated to the board that he is very interested in making the move to Stamford Bridge, and that the board are seriously considering whether or not to get rid of the club legend.

But amid all the speculation, EUROSPORT’S ROBERT BAUER has opened up and had his say on whether or not we will hire Tuchel, whether they will get rid of Lampard and how much Tuchel received upon getting the sack from PSG.

He Told EuroSport: : “The contract of the former Dortmund coach at PSG has allegedly already been terminated. Tuchel received a severance payment of six million euros, the report continues. This means that he could start a new job immediately .

Apparently there was contact between Chelsea and Tuchel in 2017, but it seems unlikely Tuchel will take a new job right now, nor that Chelsea will drop Lampard after just a year and a half.

“Tuchel has proven in both Dortmund and Paris that he is a top coach – he could definitely improve this Chelsea team. But it looks like the Blues will give Lampard time.

“There have been rumours that Tuchel could even take over the German national team after Euro 2021.”

Lampard is doing an ok job at the club, so even though the pressure is mounting and the stats arent great, it would be a shock to see him get the chop before the end of the season anyways.

But if he does go, GUYS IS TUCHEL THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB?
