Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel signed a new deal that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2024.

The German-born tactician guided the Blues to their second-ever Champions League glory in the recently concluded season following their 1-0 triumph over Manchester City in an all-English final.

Despite their poor start to the 2020-21 season, Thomas Tuchel was named Frank Lampard's replacement after signing an 18 months deal.

His arrival turned everything around as they reached the finals of the FA Cup and the Champions League while they crawled back into the top four on the table.

And his performances in the first five months of his reign at the London club have earned him another two years deal and he will be expected to win more titles for them.
