Thomas Tuchel open to Chelsea return this summer

Barcelona-linked Thomas Tuchel is open to a sensational return to his former club Chelsea ahead of next season

According to Sport BILD via Sport Witness, Chelsea are on the lookout for a new manager, and Thomas Tuchel is one of the names that has been linked with the West London club. The German manager is open to return to Stamford Bridge in the summer. Meanwhile, he is also a target for Barcelona.

Thomas Tuchel to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season

Tuchel took charge of Bayern Munich towards the end of last season. While they did manage to win the league last time out, things have not been that great this season. They are behind Bayer Leverkusen in the title race and in short, things have not really worked out for the former Chelsea boss.

As a result, Bayern Munich and Tuchel have decided to part ways at the end of the season. While there is a possibility that the 50-year-old could take a sabbatical, those around him have suggested that he will take a new job if the right offer arrives.

Barcelona interested in the Bayern Munich boss

Barcelona are one of the clubs that have been linked with the Bayern Munich boss. Xavi Hernandez has decided to end his stint at the Spanish club after this season. As a result, they are on the lookout for a new boss, and Tuchel is one of the names on their radar.

But, the German manager is not keen on moving to Spain according to Sport BILD. He feels that a move to Barcelona could prove to be quite difficult for him, and that is why he prefers a return to England. He is closely watching the English market for an opportunity.

The job at Chelsea

There could be a job for him at Chelsea with the club considering sacking Mauricio Pochettino. While Tuchel did win the Champions League with the Blues in 2021, he was sacked by their new owner Todd Boehly, who took charge that summer.

The two were not on the same page and Boehly decided to sack the German. But, now there is a possibility of him making a shocking return. The Bayern boss is open to a return to Chelsea and there is interest from the English club but in the end, it might depend on whether Boehly is ready to make it happen.
