Bringing Chelsea from a mid-table position to a place in the top four along with two cup finals is no small feat. Tuchel can sign a contract worth two or three years.

Thiago Silva, who signed for Chelsea on a one-year deal, will also lengthen his present deal by one year, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
