Thomas Tuchel set to take over as the Chelsea manager

Chelsea are set to sack Frank Lampard as their manager later today and former Paris Saint Germain boss Thomas Tuchel is expected to take over as his replacement.

According to the Athletic, things went sour between Lampard and the Chelsea hierarchy behind the scenes and the former midfielder is set to pay the price for that.

The report adds that Lampard’s relationship with the Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia had deteriorated and he was barely involved in transfers as well.

Apparently, Petr Cech was involved in talking to the players’ agents regarding transfers.
