Thomas Tuchel could be set to make his return to management at a former club over six months after being sacked by Chelsea. A few days after his dismissal, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital brought in Graham Potter from Brighton, but the 47-year-old is now under significant pressure following the Blues' defeat to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Results have been poor for Chelsea under Potter with nine wins, seven draws and eight losses occurring from his 24 games in charge across four different competitions. Recent form has been the major issue with only two of those seven victories arriving since the resumption of the season after the World Cup.

Two 1-0 defeats in the last week against Borussia Dortmund and a managerless Southampton has seen calls for Potter to be sacked increase, with a number of managers tipped to replace him.

Mauricio Pochettino remains the current favourite with the bookies to replace Potter, while possible returns to Stamford Bridge for Tuchel, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte are all included in the latest odds. Mourinho is currently in charge at AS Roma and while Conte is seemingly unsettled at Tottenham following a difficult year personally, a management return to Italy is more likely.

Those two names being removed leaves just Tuchel on the list of former Blues managers to take over but he could also be crossed off the list. According to Evening Standard, Paris Saint-Germain are ready to re-appoint Thomas Tuchel and would be willing to admit their mistake in sacking him in the first place.
