Being placed on gardening leave means they are technically still contracted to Chelsea.

However, Tuchel was not made a similar offer to Zslot Low and Benjamin Webber, and due to post-Brexit visa laws, the Champions League-winning manager will be kicked OUT of the UK next month.

Tuchel was happy in Surrey, where his daughters have attended school, the report says.

But he has been left with no choice but to find a new permanent home, and it is understood he will move to Munich in his native country.

Tuchel arrived at Chelsea in 2021 on a post-Brexit Governing Body Endorsement visa and attempts to get clarity on different options or get help to apply for an alternative visa have proved unsuccessful.

Despite not being allowed to permanently stay in England, Tuchel intends to travel back to London regularly and split his time between the capital and Munich.

Tuchel is said to be waiting for the right opportunity to return to coaching.
