Chelsea former manager, Tuchel faces deportation scare in UK

Thomas Tuchel could reportedly be forced to leave the United Kingdom before Christmas following his sack from top Premier League side, Chelsea FC.

The report states that Tuchel arrived in Britain on a post-Brexit Governing Body Endorsement visa, meaning he could only have 90 days on from his sacking to legally remain in the UK.

A representative for Tuchel told the Telegraph: ‘We will act in accordance with UK rules and adapt all future plans. Final decisions are not made yet.’

Tuchel is still based near Chelsea’s Cobham training ground, while his children still attend school locally.

Tuchel had also fallen out with the club’s owner Todd Boehly regarding the club’s direction.

While he appears happy to remain in the UK for now, the report also adds that he is considering his future options as he looks for a quick route back into management and continues his career.

Tuchel though is not known to quickly bounce back with a new club despite joining Chelsea just a month after being sacked as Paris Saint-Germain nearly two years ago.

After leaving Borussia Dortmund, he remained in Germany for a year while he also took a 12-month sabbatical following on from his departure at Mainz in his homeland before that.

Despite his sacking his stock will remain high, and it is thought that he would open to working again in England where he is likely to feel he has unfinished business, while a move back to Germany could also appeal should an option come up.

His move to England was one of the first after Brexit’s rule change, and it forced Chelsea into a special application to allow his Blues backroom team to travel with him to England.
