THOMAS Tuchel has been rewarded with a contract extension by Chelsea after leading the club to the UEFA Champions League title.
The German took over as manager from Frank Lampard in January and took Chelsea to the FA Cup final as well as the club’s second Champions League title, beating Manchester City 1-0 in last Saturday’s final.
“Chelsea Football Club is very happy to confirm that, following our triumph in the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel’s contract has been extended by two years, as agreed when he joined the Club,” the Blues announced on Friday.
On the extension of his contract, former Paris Saint-Germain manager Tuchel promised to bring more success to Chelsea.
“I cannot imagine a better occasion for a contract renewal. I am grateful for the experience and very happy to stay part of the Chelsea family,” he told the Chelsea website.
“There is far more to come and we are looking forward to our next steps with ambition and much anticipation.”
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: “When Thomas joined us in January there was still so much to play for domestically and in Europe. He slotted in seamlessly and immediately became an integral part of the Chelsea family.
“Returning us to the top four in the Premier League was crucial, and we could not be happier with our success in the Champions League which crowned a remarkable season at Chelsea.
“We are obviously extremely pleased therefore to retain Thomas for a further two years, and look forward to more achievements in the coming seasons.”
Tuchel, 47, has taken charge of Chelsea in 30 matches, winning 19, drawing six and losing five.
