The German was heavily backed in the summer with new signings, though he seemed the butt heads with the new regime over incomings.
And after a disappointing start to the campaign, Tuchel was sacked, with Graham Potter coming in to replace him.
Since then, the former Paris Saint-Germain boss has been biding his time, taking time out from the game.

It seems it is going to take the right offer from the right club to get Tuchel back into the game, but interestingly, it seems the England job is of interest.
Gareth Southgtae is under increasing pressure, with the Three Lions failing to win any of their Nations League fixtures, suffering relegration to League B.
According to the report, Tuchel would be interested in taking over from Southgate if the World Cup doesn’t go well.

It will be interesting to see whether Tuchel waits to see if the England opportunity pops up, or whether he takes one of the many jobs that are likely to come up in England and abroad over the coming months.
As far as the England job goes, we are likely to know more about Southgate’s future within the next three months, with the World Cup taking place within that time frame.
