So long Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel is back

Chelsea has since appointed Graham Potter as boss after the shock sack of former manager Thomas Tuchel earlier in September.

The German was released by the Blues following their poor start to the season and a breakdown in his relationship with the owner and chairman Todd Boehly.

Meanwhile, National Daily can confirm from the report by Bild Sport that Tuchel could be making a quick return to football management with two of Europe’s biggest clubs believed to be interested in hiring him.

It has been a damning experience at Allianz Stadium, Turin and Allianz Arena where Juventus and Bayern Munich respectively have been forced to endure strange difficult starts to the new campaign, which has left managers Julian Nagelsmann and Massimiliano Allegri under a lot of pressure.

It is quite unbelievable as Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have failed to win their last four league games and disappointingly leaving them in an unfamiliar fifth position in the table and five points off surprise leaders Union Berlin as the international break beckons.

Though Bayern’s CEO has reserved his support for Nagelsmann at the moment with the hope that the 35-year-old still has the tendency to overturn the tides at the club especially after the Bavarians have enjoyed a reverse fortune in the Champions League as they boast of victories over Inter Milan and Barcelona.

‘We’re totally convinced of Julian,’ Oliver Kahn told Sport1.

‘Of course, he’s concerned, everyone is. We’re in a bad mood. Some players probably believe the Bundesliga can be considered secondary. You can’t do that.’

Allergi like Nagelsmann has suffered a similar fate in the domestic league after Juventus have won just two games from their opening seven Serie A leaving them in eighth position on the table, but the 55-year-old has endured a worst lot in European football with the Old Ladies embarrassingly losing their opening two games leaving them struggling to qualify from the group stage.

Meanwhile, as fans of the Turin club could be keen to see Tuchel replace Allegri, reports reaching National Daily suggest that the Italian giants will not rush into a decision and could even wait until the end of the season in the hopes that Tottenham boss Antonio Conte becomes available.
