Embattled Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has been sacked at the Premier League side due to lackluster performance from his wards this season.
And former Paris Saint-Germain gaffer Thomas Tuchel has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as replacement for the Englishman.
The 47-year-old German was recently thrown out at Paris Saint-Germain and was replaced by former Tottenham manager Pochettino who steered Spurs to Champions League final.
Despite signing some big players before the start of the ongoing Premier League season, Frank Lampard and his wards have not been able to make Chelsea fans happy.
According to the confirmation by Chelsea, a decision was been made on Monday, January 25, at Stamford Bridge to sack Frank Lampard.
The report added that the club's chiefs are not even concerned about the win over Luton Town in the FA Cup encounter.
Lampard was appointed on a three-year contract when he replaced Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge in July 2019.
He guided them to fourth place and the FA Cup final in his first season in charge and lost against Arsenal in what was a painful defeat for all Blues fans.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are currently occupying ninth position on the Premier League table with 29 points after 19 games played so far.
Chelsea will be facing Wolves in their next Premier League game at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, January 27.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Ousmane Dembele who is currently on the books of Spanish giants Barcelona is now being wanted by Premier League side Chelsea as Lampard is trying to bolster his squad again.
Before the start of the ongoing Premier League season, Frank Lampard was supported by Chelsea chiefs to bring in some big legs to Stamford Bridge.
But despite the huge amount of money spent by the club, Chelsea have been struggling so far this term in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old has also been wanted by the Blues' Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United in the past.
Dembele has since made 19 appearances, scoring six goals but his future remains in doubt.
