In fact, it is believed the former Borussia Dortmund boss was lukewarm about succeeding Lampard mid-season before he changed his mind.

"At first it was a concern, I was a little like, 'Oh, why 18 months?" Tuchel revealed.

"But after only one minute I thought, 'What does it change?' What does it change if they give me four and a half years? They could sack me anyway," he added.

Tuchel took over the reigns at Chelsea at a time the club were struggling for form especially in the domestic scene.

He has since helped the side climb to seventh on the standings after he picked four points from his two games he has been in charge.
