# Chelsea managerial target Tuchel says no to Bayern

German manager Thomas Tuchel has reportedly rejected a move to Bayern Munich, and is set to go to a “top club abroad” according to Bild.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager rejecting Bayern could see him in the frame for a move to Chelsea, with reports that Antonio Conte is on his way out.

Tuchel was sacked as Dortmund boss at the end of last season after his side failed to qualify for the Champions League. He has been out of work since then.

This comes as Antonio Conte looks set to depart Chelsea, with representatives from PSG [reportedly talking to the Italian](https://readchelsea.com/2018/03/24/psg-hold-talks-with-conte-representatives-potential-switch/) about taking over at the end of the season.
