Thomas Tuchel is negotiating a contract extension with the English football club FC Chelsea.
“There are talks,” confirmed the 48-year-old ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Leeds United. But these are still in the early stages. The contract of the former Bundesliga coach with the Londoners runs until June 30, 2024.
“But I think given the situation where we come from and where we are right now, in the middle of the transfer window, it’s best that I focus on my team and that we’re competitive,” added Tuchel.
In Leeds, Tuchel could be there despite the penalty after his heated argument with Tottenham coach Antonio Conte. Because the suspension for a game by the English Football Association was initially suspended on Friday until the statements requested by the coaches are available and evaluated. The Blues can also appeal. Tuchel has also been fined £35,000 while Conte has to pay £15,000. “I hope this will be my last red card of the season,” said Tuchel. “I crossed a line that I shouldn’t have crossed as a coach.”
The former Mainz and Dortmund Bundesliga coach has been on the sidelines at Chelsea since 2021 and won the Champions League with the team in his first year. After the difficult previous season, also due to the sanctions against the then Russian club owner Roman Abramowitsch, Chelsea started the new season with a 0-1 defeat in Everton and a 2-2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
