Post-Brexit laws mean that former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is being forced to leave the UK, two months after being replaced by Graham Potter following Todd Bohely’s ruthless decision to sack him
Thomas Tuchel will be forced to leave the UK next month as a result of Chelsea ‘s decision to sack him and new post- Brexit laws.
The Blues booted out their Champions League -winning manager in early September, but unlike two members of his coaching staff – who can stay in England with their families – he wasn’t put on gardening leave. According to the Telegraph, Tuchel is currently preparing to leave London in December due to visa laws which were enforced after Britain left the European Union in January 2020.
Zsolt Low and Benjamin Webber, the German coach’s right-hand men during his 19-month spell in charge at Stamford Bridge, are still technically under contract at Chelsea. Tuchel, however, wasn’t afforded the same luxury by the Todd Boehly -Clearlake Capital regime, who made it their first big decision to ruthlessly sack the incumbent Blues boss after buying the club for £4.25billion in May.
It’s added that Tuchel had been happy and settled living in Surrey, where his daughters attended school. Having completed a holiday in India, the 49-year-old – who was replaced by Brighton manager Graham Potter – will move to Munich in his native Germany.
