Chelsea have reportedly opened talks with boss Thomas Tuchel about doubling the length of his contract.
The German, who guided the Blues to a second Champions League title in 2021, has two years left on his current deal.
The former Borussia Dortmund and PSG manager stuck by the Blues when the club’s existence was in doubt earlier this year, when former owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The new ownership group, led by American Todd Boehly have since come in and formed a good relationship with Tuchel, especially given the pair have been dealing with the summer transfer business together.
As a reward for his success and commitment, talks have already began about extending his contract by a further two years, according to The Sun.
The new deal is expected to run until 2026, which shows huge faith from Boehly, given that only two managers have lasted more than two years since Jose Mourinho’s first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge in 2004.

Tuchel initially signed a 17-month deal with Chelsea when he took over from sacked Frank Lampard in late January 2021.
A three year extension kicked in after he led them to a second European crown that summer with victory over Manchester City in Paris for which he was named UEFA coach of the year.
He then guided the Blues to the Club World Cup in February – the only major trophy that had eluded Chelsea until then.

The new consortium are also impressed with the early impressions from Tuchel since taking over the club and are keen to tie him down.
The German has been at the forefront of the summer rebuild while they remain on the hunt for a new sporting director after recently being snubbed by former Liverpool transfer chief Michael Edwards.
The Blues have signed Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella and Carney Chukwuemeka so far this summer with more deals expected more the transfer window slams shut.
They have also seen Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner depart Stamford Bridge.
