German opens up and OFFICIALLY announces he is looking to sign Chelsea deal
Thomas Tuchel has spoken about his dream start and future at Chelsea after reaching the FA Cup final in his first three months as the manager in west London.
Tuchel took over at Chelsea just a few months ago and since then, he has turned this Chelsea side into one of the very best in the Premier League, with reports that the Blues will be serious contenders for that title next season.
He is only at the club for the next 18 months, but after his brilliant start to life at the club, Tuchel has opened up and admitted that he is hoping to stay longer at the club: “The point is that I had these concerns [about the length of my contract] and after five, maybe 15 minutes, I said to myself that it changes nothing how many years this contract is,” Tuchel told reporters.
“I demand from myself to deliver, to have an impact and to be the best I can. So this will not change in the future. If I deserve to stay, I am super happy to stay and I will try to stay as long as possible. I feel like a part of the Chelsea family.
“The club feels super professional here, we have unbelievable quality of support, amount of support and we have a team which it is a pleasure to be at the side-line of and to fight with this team, so honestly, I don’t care what it says in my contract. I need to deserve to stay longer.
“If I deserve to stay longer, I will stay longer, no matter what it says. This is what I demand from myself and I feel free at the moment also and I feel good. I am at the right place at the right moment. Everything else will fall into its place when it is there. If I want to stay longer, I deliver week after week.”
If he carries on the way he is, he will get a new contract at the club.
