Thomas Tuchel will earn a Chelsea contract extension if he secures Champions League football twice.

Despite his credentials, the German boss was only appointed on an 18-month deal after replacing Frank Lampard last week.

Tuchel was unsure whether to take the role during the season but was advised it may not be available at the end of the campaign.

And the Daily Mail writes how securing Champions League football both this season and next will land him an automatic contract extension.

Chelsea are currently six points adrift of a top four spot and face a tough contest away at Tottenham on Thursday.
