Chelsea started the 2022-23 season on the wrong foot and the disappointing results led to the departure of Thomas Tuchel. Todd Boehly and the management made a sudden change and now Graham Potter is in charge of the Stamford Bridge squad.
The German coach had been in charge since the beginning of 2021 and managed to lead the Blues to the top of Europe. In total, Tuchel contributed three international titles to the Londoners' trophy case: Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
In the first seven games of the current season, the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund coach achieved 3 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in the Premier League and Champions League matches. That inconsistent start cost him his position.
Now, Tuchel, who is still highly regarded in Europe, is waiting for the call from another important team to start a new project. However, Sport1 reported on Monday that the coach has already turned down a tempting offer from a club.
That club is Bayer Leverkusen, which is struggling in the Bundesliga. In the first 8 matches, the German team has only accumulated 5 points and is second to last. That's why they sought a heavyweight coach to turn the situation around.
