Thomas Tuchel signs a new three-year Chelsea deal and is hailed by Marina Granovskaia for their Champions League triumph.... but can he REALLY see it out under ruthless Roman Abramovich?

Thomas Tuchel has signed a contract extension with Chelsea until 2024 after guiding the Blues to the Champions League title this season.

The German only joined the west Londoners in January of this year, with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich initially offering the former Paris Saint-Germain head coach an 18-month deal.

Tuchel also earned Chelsea a spot in the top-four having taken over with the club in ninth-place, while the Blues also reached the FA Cup final this season.
