Aston Villa, Newcastle and West Ham could “tick boxes” for Thomas Tuchel as he looks for his first job after leaving Chelsea, according to Stan Collymore.
Tuchel finds himself out of work after Chelsea sacked him. His departure came following the club’s shock 1-0 defeat Dinamo Zagreb.
This was a further blow after Chelsea had already suffered defeats in the league against Leeds United and Southampton.

The club’s hierarchy moved quickly to replace Tuchel and Graham Potter has been confirmed as his successor following his stellar spell at Brighton.

“Maybe in Italy, a Juventus or one of the Milan clubs might be looking to make a change during the World Cup and they will be interested.
