Chelsea’s new manager, Thomas Tuchel, has been told by the
club management that he has to qualify the team for the Champions League in his
first six months.
The English Premier Leauge club sacked former manager, Frank
Lampard on Monday, January 25 and replaced him with former Paris Saint-Germain
manager, Tuchel.
Just a few hours after his appointment as the new head coach
at Stamford Bridge, Tuches has been mandated to qualify the Blues for the
Champions League competition in his first six months.
Tuchel on Tuesday signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to
replace Blues legend, Frank Lampard and had just a few time to prove to the
club how far he can stay.
Chelsea with 29 points on the 10th position on the league
table will on Wednesday, January 27 host Wolverhampton Wanderers to battle for
another three-point.
Former teammates, Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were
involved in a heated clash in Tuesday’s Coppa Italia quarter-final clash
between AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Tempers flared up just before the break after Lukaku took
exception to a foul by Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli. Ibrahimovic stepped in
and squared up to the furious Belgian.
The Blues face Atletico Madrid in the knockout stages next
month.
