Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel snubs Premier League club despite desperation to return to England
David Moyes, currently managing West Ham, is facing mounting pressure due to the team’s recent poor performance, which includes eight consecutive losses and conceding 16 goals. Some fans are even calling for his dismissal. Despite being under contract until the end of the season, Moyes finds himself under scrutiny.
While the executives at West Ham continue to back Moyes publicly, they are quietly exploring potential coaching alternatives. One such option is Thomas Tuchel, who will be available in the summer after announcing his departure from Bayern Munich. It’s rumored that Tuchel is only interested in managerial positions at top English clubs, adding to the speculation surrounding Moyes’s future.
The managerial landscape in the Premier League is further complicated by uncertainty surrounding other clubs. Manchester United has new executives, and Liverpool will see the departure of their head coach, Jurgen Klopp, this summer. This uncertainty extends to Erik ten Hag’s position at Manchester United, leaving his future unclear.
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe, manager of Newcastle United, faces criticism despite significant financial investment, with his team currently sitting seventh in the Premier League. In contrast, Tuchel’s tenure at Chelsea saw significant success, including winning the Champions League and Club World Cup. However, his time at the club came to an abrupt end following the UK government’s sanctions on Roman Abramovich, leading to the sale of Chelsea to American investors Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
Just a hundred days after acquiring the club, Boehly made the decision to dismiss coach Jochen Tuchel following a disappointing loss to Dinamo Zagreb. This managerial upheaval reflects the volatile nature of football management, with Moyes’s future at West Ham also hanging in the balance amidst ongoing speculation and scrutiny.
