Twitter reacts as Thomas Tuchel is announced as new Chelsea manager
Well, that's it.
The worst kept secret in football is out. Thomas Tuchel has been confirmed as the new Chelsea manager, succeeding club legend Frank Lampard.
Welcome to Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel! ✍️? #WelcomeTuchel

Despite their understandably angry reaction to Frank Lampard's departure on Monday, Blues fans were quick to get behind their new man, taking to social media to voice their support.
Tuchel very respectful of Frank’s history and what he meant to Chelsea supporters whilst being very grateful for Chelsea giving him the job.

Of course, with any managerial announcement, there were a few naysayers questioning his suitability for the job.
Big game bottler. Big Farmers league fraud. Chelsea will be going through 2 managers this season ?? #Tuchel https://t.co/bFt6sw7DOq

Wait ? So Chelsea just hired Tuchel who got replaced at PSG by Pochetino who got replaced at Tottenham by Mourinho who got replaced at Manchester United by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

Reports suggest the main reason Tuchel has been brought in is to get the best out of Chelsea's considerable German investment. Namely, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
Opinion was mixed over whether he would be able to get Chelsea's big money signings firing...
Btw watch werner and havertz score tomorrow ?
— Connor KTBFFH (@BotwrightConnor) January 26, 2021
Immediate focus around Tuchel to Chelsea may be on Havertz and Werner but there’s plenty other players in that squad who could grab his attention based on what we saw at Mainz, Dortmund and PSG. CHO, Kovacic, Ziyech, James, Pulisic (obv) all got the right attributes, IMO.
— Greg Johnson (@gregianjohnson) January 26, 2021
Wait, so because Tuchel is German, that automatically means that Werner and Havertz will start performing? Don’t think it works like that loool

Havertz gonna play like R9 now ? https://t.co/gCA2ZPM3kh

Welcome to Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel.
— Pys (@CFCPys) January 26, 2021
I’m really excited to see the attacking football and the resurgence of Kai Havertz and Werner, also very excited to see Christian Pulisic under him and CHO’s development should go through the roof.

One job:

Oil up Werner
Finger his moving parts
Get him on again! https://t.co/2oja2RE4C8
Regardless of whether Tuchel does get huge improvements out of Werner and Havertz, does anyone out there really expect the combative German to spend more than two years in west London?
A quick scan of Twitter suggests: probably not, no.
As Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as new Chelsea manager , I hope he wouldn't be sacked after 18 months. Chelseaaaaaaaaaaaa.
— Michael Odetunde (@Odesportonradio) January 26, 2021
Tuchel will be sacked too
— K'LM.??? (@kairndrick) January 26, 2021
Tuchel will be sacked within two years
— dermot henderson (@dermothendo) January 26, 2021
Thomas Tuchel will be sacked in 18 months
— Arsenal? (@ArsenalSportZ) January 26, 2021
So, Thomas Tuchel is the next unfortunate Chelsea manager, man has been sacked all his life as a manager, now at Chelsea to get the axe in 6months. ??
