Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has signed a new contract lasting until 2024 after leading the club to Champions League glory.
The German galvanised the club immediately upon his arrival as the Blues secured a top-four finish before outwitting Pep Guardiola in the Champions League final last week.
“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,” Tuchel said.
“There is far more to come and we are looking forward to our next steps with ambition and much anticipation.”
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: “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.
