Chelsea news: Thomas Tuchel is finally set to return to Stamford Bridge, but not as many people would have expected
The former Borussia Dortmund coach had a stellar record in cup competitions, overseeing six finals in his time at the club with three wins in that time. It wasn't enough for him to keep his job as head coach though as new owners Boehly-Clearlake decided to make a change to their philosophy.
Speaking to Sports Star, Tuchel broke his silence on his 'early' exit from Chelsea, revealing his shock at the sacking. He said: "I loved every day at Chelsea. It came to an end too early for me, but it was out of my hands. This is also what you sign up for."
It will be the first job for the German since leaving Stamford Bridge, which could see him make a return to the ground once again in the coming months. That's because Bayern are an opponent Chelsea could face in the semi-finals of the Champions League if both sides make it past the quarter-finals of the competition.
The tournament has positive memories for Tuchel, who could repeat his feat at Chelsea of taking over in mid-season and winning the whole thing.

If Bayern meets Chelsea with TT as coach, I am not sure whom to support. If Chelsea wins, all will start saying that Boehly did right by sacking TT which I don’t agree. If Bayern wins, then my beloved team will be out of the tournament this year and the next year 😞

Mourinho: They pay you to come to Tottenham and then they pay you to leave. Conte: Really? Mourinho: Yes, it gets better because you don’t even have to win anything, it's incredible.
