Chelsea will officially present Thomas Tuchel as their new manager, with the German already in London following the sacking of Frank Lampard earlier.
The Blues officially announced that Lampard was relieved of his duties at 11.25am on Monday, with the club legend receiving a rare farewell statement from owner Roman Abramovich.
Tuchel’s appointment will be made official after the team’s training session, which was delayed until the afternoon whilst the club handled the sacking of Lampard.
With that announcement imminent, Wednesday night’s Premier League encounter with Wolves will mark Tuchel’s first game in charge of the Blues.
Tuchel makes a swift return to management, having only been sacked by Paris Saint-Germain over the Christmas period, with Mauricio Pochettino replacing the German in the French capital.
