The German coach who was formerly of Dortmund and PSG respectively has been offered an 18-month contract plus an additional 1 year by the West London based club.
Tuchel was sacked by French outfit PSG after two successful years at the club. He has won 7 trophies with a record of 93 wins, 13 draws, and 19 defeats in 127 games, with the best percentage in league 1 history in his spell in charge of the club.
The 47 years old was relieved of his position for comments he made on an interview with German television Sport 1, He was captured in the interview saying he sees himself as more of a politician than a coach and also questioning club sporting director Leonardo reason for the transfer signing of Portuguese international Danilo Pereira.
Tuchel first game as Chelsea boss is at home against Wolverhampton Wonderers. Chelsea and their new coach would be hoping to right their wrong after they suffered a 2-1 defeat against their opponent in the first round of the league campaign back in late December last year.
