English Premier League giants Chelsea FC have announced the appointment of former Paris Saint Germain coach Thomas Tuchel, just a day after confirming the sacking of Frank Lampard.
The German gaffer signed an 18-month contract with the possibility of an extension with the London club.

Tuchel will be looking to bring back the much needed confidence that has departed the Chelsea squad that won just two of their last eight league matches.
“I would like to thank Chelsea FC for their confidence in me and my staff,” Tuchel told the club’s website.
“We all have the greatest respect for Frank Lampard’s work and the legacy he created at Chelsea. At the same time, I cannot wait to meet my new team and compete in the most exciting league in football. I am grateful to now be part of the Chelsea family – it feels amazing.”
