Thomas Tuchel is to be the new coach at Chelsea, the club from England's Premier League says.
Tuchel, a former coach for Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, follows Frank Lampard, a Chelsea icon who held the role for 18 months.
The 42-year-old Lampard steered Chelsea to a Champions League place in his first season in charge, but with the club sitting ninth in the Premier League, owner Roman Abramovich decided to act, dismissing him on Monday.
