Metro UK reports Tuchel held a successful meeting with Abramovich on Sunday morning, May 30, during which the Russian oligarch agreed to hand the manager a new deal.

The 47-year-old is understood to have penned an 18-month contract when he arrived towards the end of January to succeed Frank Lampard who had been axed at the time.

However, The Times now claims the deal is set to be extended and Tuchel's salary improved after the triumph over Man City.

The development came just a day after Tuchel confirmed he had promised to extend his current contract.

It is further believed Abramovich gave the former Paris Saint-Germain boss further assurances over availing funds to spend in the transfer market this summer.

Tuchel did not have time to make any signings in January as the window had closed when he arrived.

But he could now be afforded the latitude to add his own players to the squad, a scenario that could force him to also ship out a number of players currently at his disposal.

It is understood the tactician is keen to add a new centre-back, midfielder, and a proven goalscorer.

Talks between him and Chelsea's director Marina Granovskaia are scheduled to take place in the coming weeks.
