Thomas Tuchel learning Spanish amid links to La Liga clubs

Thomas Tuchel has started to learn Spanish having been tipped to move to La Liga in the future.

Tuchel has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea at the start of September following a lacklustre start to the season.

It was a decision that shocked many, with Tuchel being widely considered one of the best managers around and his spell at Chelsea largely successful one on the whole.

Given how highly rated he still is, he’s been linked with a number of top jobs since being fired such as managerial roles at Juventus and the England national side.

However, it now looks as if Tuchel has been preparing for a different job anyway with it being reported by BILD that the manager has been working hard to improve his Spanish, with the German linked to jobs at La Liga’s big-hitters.

Doubts have crept in over Xavi’s role at Barcelona following another Champions League group stage elimination, Diego Simeone has been struggling at Atletico Madrid this season while Carlo Ancelotti’s long-term future at Real Madrid is currently unclear.
