THOMAS TUCHEL is already targeting his next managerial role as the Bayern Munich boss is set to leave the German club in the summer.
With the former Chelsea boss set to be out of work, he is said to be targeting a return to the Premier League and potentially Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel took over at Bayern Munich last March, but it has already been confirmed that he will be leaving at the end of this season.
And the German boss has revealed his three dream clubs for when he leaves the Bundesliga giants this term.
According to Sky Sports Germany, “Thomas Tuchel has never ruled out a return to FC Chelsea. He still has the club in his sights.
“His greatest short-term desire is to return to the Premier League. He doesn’t see his project there as complete yet.

“He is also interested in the project at Manchester United. In Spain, he wants to coach FC Barcelona someday.”
Tuchel became manager of Chelsea in 2021 and won the Champions League in his debut season, being named The Best FIFA Football Coach.
The German was then sacked by new American owner Todd Boehly in September 2022 just a few months after his takeover.
He then signed with Bayern Munich in 2023 and won the Bundesliga title.

According to the German outlet Bild, Tuchel would be open to returning to Stamford Bridge, should he and Boehly be able to settle their previous differences.
Prior to Tuchel’s departure, he and his boss endured a strained relationship.
Boehly, 50, even frustrated the ex-Chelsea manager by trying to show a group of guests the home dressing room… while Tuchel was attempting to deliver a half-time team talk.
At the end of last season, reports claimed that Blues chiefs privately acknowledged that sacking Tuchel may have been a mistake.
Meanwhile, since Ineos’ arrival as a partial owner at Manchester United, doubts have lingered over whether Erik ten Hag will remain at Old Trafford next season.
While Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has announced that he will step down as coach of Barcelona at the end of term.
