In a recent report, it’s suggested that Thomas Tuchel, the former manager of Chelsea, is eyeing a possible comeback to the club amid speculation about Mauricio Pochettino’s future at Stamford Bridge. Pochettino is under scrutiny, leading to talks of a managerial change at Chelsea in the upcoming summer. The club is said to be considering parting ways with Pochettino, who is currently under contract until June 2025 with an option for an additional 12 months. A shortlist of potential replacements, including Roberto De Zerbi from Brighton and Sporting CP, has already been compiled. Despite not being on the current shortlist, Tuchel reportedly has a keen interest in returning, despite his abrupt departure from Chelsea around 18 months ago, shortly after the arrival of new owner Todd Boehly. Reports from Footballwave indicate that Tuchel has aspirations of making a comeback to Stamford Bridge. It’s certain that the 50-year-old will be exploring new opportunities in the summer, as his exit from Bayern Munich is confirmed following a disappointing campaign likely to result in the club missing out on the Bundesliga title after an 11-game winning streak. While Tuchel’s recent spell at Bayern may have slightly tarnished his reputation, his record at Chelsea remains impressive. During his previous tenure from January 2021 to September 2022, he achieved an outstanding win percentage of 60%. This percentage surpasses those of interim managers who oversaw more than 10 games, such as Graham Potter (39%) and Pochettino (46%). Since Carlo Ancelotti’s departure in 2011, only Antonio Conte (65%) and Maurizio Sarri (62%) have attained higher win percentages as full-time Chelsea managers. However, the openness of Boehly to Tuchel’s return, given their prior relationship, remains uncertain. Tuchel’s reputation for being somewhat aloof might potentially influence Boehly’s decision-making process regarding his potential return to Chelsea.
