Thomas Tuchel during his time at Chelsea.
German coach Thomas Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea earlier this month after starting off the season very poorly and the 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb on 6 September proved the ultimate nail in the coffin for him and was his final game in charge. He has been replaced by Graham Potter who has left the Brighton job to sign with the Blues with the club paying a record £21 million compensation fee to Brighton.
Tuchel is currently staying near Chelsea’s Cobham training ground while his daughters study at the school in Surrey. However, according to The Telegraph, it is only time until the German manager is asked to leave the United Kingdom because of Brexit rules. Tuchel took charge of Chelsea way back in January 2021 and he arrived on a post-Brexit Governing Body Endorsement visa.
It is unfair on Thomas Tuchel how has been removed from Chelsea?
For Tuchel to take charge of Chelsea way back in January 2021, the club had to file a special application so that Tuchel and his staff would be granted access into the country after a rule change. It’s said that he would be able to stay on these shores for 90 days but there has been no official confirmation from the relevant parties like the FA or Home Office.
Tuchel had a great first season with Chelsea guiding them to their second Champions League trophy by beating Manchester City in Porto and then followed it up by winning the Super Cup and Club World Cup as well. He also reached the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals and finished with a 60 percent win ratio overall
