Thomas Tuchel will be offered a contract extension by Chelsea at the end of his 18-month deal if the new head coach hits a series of performance targets.
Sportsmail can reveal that the contract Tuchel signed last week is heavily incentivised and contains clauses triggering an option for him to stay if the German keeps Chelsea in the Champions League for the next two seasons.
Tuchel admitted before Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley that he was initially unhappy at only being offered an 18-month deal — but the chance to extend the deal if he is successful alleviated his concerns.
