Tuchel could be deported from United Kingdom
Thomas Tuchel could be forced to leave United Kingdom following his dismissal at Chelsea.
Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could be forced to leave United Kingdom following his sack at the London club.
The German was dismissed by the Blues management following a poor run of form in the league.
Tuchel dismissal with the club came after they suffered defeat in the Champions League to Dinamo Zagreb.
the fallout could have further repercussions for Tuchel, as according to the Telegraph he could now be facing deportation from the country due to Brexit rules.
The report states that the former Dortmund manager arrived in Britain on a post-Brexit Governing Body Endorsment visa, meaning he could only have 90 days on from his sacking to legally remain in the UK.
This has not been confirmed by the Football Association.
A representative for Tuchel told the Telegraph: ‘We will act in accordance with UK rules and adapt all future plans. Final decisions are not made yet.’
Tuchel is still based near Chelsea’s Cobham training ground, while his children still attend school locally.
Despite his sacking his stock will remain high, and it is thought that he would open to working again in England where he is likely to feel he has unfinished business, while a move back to Germany could also appeal should an option come up.
His move to England was one of the first after Brexit’s rule change, and it forced Chelsea into a special application to allow his Blues backroom team to travel with him to England.
