Tuchel signs two-year contract extension at Chelsea on the back of Champions League triumph

The German tactician, who replaced Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge in January, will be sticking around in west London

Thomas Tuchel has signed a two-year contract extension at Chelsea, with a man who was initially handed an 18-month deal at Stamford Bridge being rewarded for delivering Champions League glory.

The Blues made another change in their dugout back in January, with club legend Frank Lampard ushered through the exits as a former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain boss was brought in.

Tuchel made an immediate impact, overseeing a top-four finish and run to the FA Cup final before going on to land major silverware as Manchester City were edged out in a European showpiece that convinced Roman Abramovich of his worth.
