Thomas Tuchel splits from his wife Sissi after 13 years of marriage

Thomas Tuchel has split from his wife following the Blues 4-1 humiliation against Brentford on Saturday afternoon, with the Chelsea coach facing a multi-million-pound divorce settlement.

As per latest reports from the DailyMail, his wife Sissi began divorce proceedings last week, with friends saying that ‘all avenues are exhausted’ when it comes to hopes of a reconciliation.

‘Sissi and Thomas have tried to avoid splitting but in the end there was no other way,’

‘It is very sad and now it is all about making sure their daughters are the top priority. Papers were lodged last week to get the divorce under way.’ a source close to the couple said.

Former journalist Mrs Tuchel moved to Britain in August, seven months after Tuchel, 48, joined Chelsea from the French team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

He initially stayed in a hotel before the family set up home in Cobham, Surrey, near Chelsea’s training ground.

Tuchel, who is reportedly paid £7million a year, now faces a multi-million-pound divorce deal.
