- German replaces Frank Lampard with club ninth in league
- He will be in dugout for Wednesday’s game against Wolves
Thomas Tuchel will sit in the dugout rather than watch from the stands when he takes charge of his first Chelsea game on Wednesday, signalling the German’s desire to make an immediate impact after his appointment as manager.
Tuchel got straight to work after signing an 18-month deal with an option for another year, holding his first training session on Tuesday night after replacing Frank Lampard. The former Paris Saint-Germain manager wants to be on the bench when Chelsea, who are six points behind fourth-placed West Ham in the Premier League, host Wolves. He told allies he wants to take responsibility for his new side’s performance.
