Tuchel confirms contract extension talks with Chelsea

Added at:

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that talks are underway to extend his current contract.

‘There are talks, but I think given the situation where we come from and where we are right now, in the middle of the transfer period, I think it is for the best if I focus on my team and being competitive,’ Tuchel said.

‘You know how glad I am to be here and how much I like it. It is a good thing.’

‘I am passionate about this club and my team especially in moments when we fight and in games in this kind of level. It kind of sucks me into the matches and I get passionate about it.’

‘I felt it before as well [love from the fans]. I believe the fans feel that I am passionate about what am I doing. I didn’t do this to prove a point. I hope this will be my last red card of the season!' Tuchel said. 'I crossed a line that I shouldn’t have crossed as a coach.

‘Nobody questions my passion and how happy I am to be here and to fight. My love for the group, and I see myself as part of this group and I am happy that we have the support of the fans because we need them. They make such a difference.’
