Tuchel snubs job offer from LaLiga club

Tuchel

Former Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel, has turned down an approach from Sevilla this month, it has been revealed.

Before hiring Jorge Sampaoli, the LaLiga club made a move for Tuchel, BILD reports.

Sevilla sounded out Tuchel before sacking Julen Lopetegui, but the German turned them down as he is looking for a “bigger challenge”.

Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea last month after a sluggish start to the season.

Blues co-owner, Todd Boehly, replaced the German with ex-Brighton manager, Graham Potter.

Sevilla have since hired Sampaoli before parting with Lopetegui a fortnight ago.
