Thomas Tuchel signs Chelsea contract extension as Blues tie manager down until 2024 after Champions League glory

Thomas Tuchel has signed a contract extension with Chelsea to keep him at the club until 2024.

The Blues have rewarded their head coach by adding a further two years to his deal in the wake of their Champions League triumph and top-four finish in the Premier League.

Tuchel exceeded all expectations in fives months at Chelsea.

On the extension of his contract, originally due to expire in 2022, Tuchel said: "I cannot imagine a better occasion for a contract renewal. I am grateful for the experience and very happy to stay part of the Chelsea family.

"There is far more to come and we are looking forward to our next steps with ambition and much anticipation."

The 47-year-old German arrived at Stamford Bridge in January, inheriting a Chelsea side who were ninth in the table when previous boss Frank Lampard was sacked.

Tuchel oversaw a rapid improvement in results, ensuring Champions League qualification for the Blues and then winning European football's biggest prize itself by beating Manchester City 1-0 in Porto last Saturday.

Tuchel delivered a tactical masterclass against Pep Guardiola in Porto.

The Blues also reached the FA Cup final, but were beaten 1-0 by Leicester at Wembley.

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: "When Thomas joined us in January there was still so much to play for domestically and in Europe. He slotted in seamlessly and immediately became an integral part of the Chelsea family.

"Returning us to the top four in the Premier League was crucial, and we could not be happier with our success in the Champions League which crowned a remarkable season at Chelsea.

"We are obviously extremely pleased therefore to retain Thomas for a further two years, and look forward to more achievements in the coming seasons."

Stop bashing people who have refused to date broke men, you don't know their story

She came back from work to meet the door of her apartment locked and couldn't gain entry despite repeated knocks on the door. She then called some neighbours who helped to break open the door," he stated.

"They all met the deceased lying dead on the floor when they entered with her two hands tied to the back, and her mouth gagged. She was met naked, bruises were noticed on her private part, her mouth was covered among others

"Also, a note said to have been written on a piece of paper was placed on her chest containing a message, "Unilorin doesn't forgive."

The perpetrator(s) of this dastardly and barbaric act must be brought to justice, we must all seek justice for late Olajide Blessing.

There is no limit to a woman. Happy internatiinal womens day.

It's no surprise thst women are celebrated internationally today. Time has shown that women play a vital role in societal development. Women have been known to play a significant role in history. Every critical and complex situations have been handled by very talented and goal driven women. Women whose voice have brought about change. Women who have fought to make the world a better place.Women who amidst men single handedly took the bull by the horns and enacted the change. In history classes, there is no history without Mary Slessor who sucessfuly stopped the killing of twins. Flora Shaw, Lady Lugard. Who intellectually coined the name Nigeria. Moremi of Ife who risked her life, married the enemy in order to save her people. Mother Teresa, who was known for her kind heart and good deeds.

There are lots of women who have writen history with their own hands and many who are yet to write. In our present day, we speak of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. A woman who despite all odds, stood out to be the best. There are many women of great value who have done what men failed to do in this present age.

Being a woman isn't a limitation or a set back. It is an opportunity. An opportunity to prove yourself, to show the world what you have to offer. To be the best and never give up. To weather the storm, climb the highest mountains and soar high. It's in this light, Michelle Obama says "There is no limit to what women can accomplish".

If you are a woman, stand tall, sit upright, raise your head high and do what women do best.

Be the best.
