Door to ancient times is unveiled for Tuchel.
Thomas Tuchel is no longer with FC Bayern Munich, and now another of his former clubs has an open position: Chelsea FC, where Tuchel led the team to a Champions League victory in 2021, has fired Mauricio Pochettino after just one season.
Following only one season, Chelsea FC and their manager Mauricio Pochettino have officially split ways. In a short statement released by the London club, the decision was made "by mutual consent." At Stamford Bridge, the 52-year-old Argentine had one more year remaining on his contract.
Two potential replacements for Pochettino at the island club include Italian Roberto De Zerbi from Brighton & Hove Albion and former Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel, who guided Chelsea to the Champions League title in 2021.
Chelsea spent over €450 million on player acquisitions this season (transfer earnings: approximately €270 million), but they only managed to secure a sixth-place finish in the Premier League thanks to a five-game winning streak at the end of the season.

"I'd like to express my gratitude to the leadership team and sporting authorities at Chelsea FC for allowing me to be part of this incredible football club's legacy," Pochettino said. "The club is now well-prepared to advance in both the Premier League and Europe in the coming seasons."
Pochettino, who has also been linked to FC Bayern in the past, made a name for himself at Chelsea's city rivals Tottenham Hotspur by bringing them to the Champions League final in 2019, among other accomplishments; Pochettino won all three of his titles as a manager in his 1.5-year stint at Paris St. Germain (2021 to 2022).
According to Sky, Chelsea FC is being considered as a potential destination for Tuchel, who worked for them from January 2021 to September 2022. Recently, unofficial conversations between the parties have surfaced. Despite attempts by Bayern Munich to extend Tuchel's contract, it ultimately failed.
