TBR Football can confirm that Thomas Tuchel is someone of interest to West Ham – particularly their technical director Tim Steidten – who would love to bring him to the London Stadium.
The pair were due to work together at Chelsea before Thomas Tuchel departed in early 2023.

Steidten would love to hire Thomas Tuchel
TBR understands that Tuchel is very keen to move back to England, after what has been a rather disappointing season back in his homeland.
He has contacted Liverpool and Manchester United but a move to West Ham is starting to emerge as a possibility, especially with Tim Steidten championing him.
Tuchel is set to leave the Allianz Arena this summer, with Bayern closing in on a move for Ralf Rangnick to replace him.
With David Moyes looking increasingly likely to head out the door at the London Stadium, the 50-year-old has emerged as an option for the Hammers.
The former Chelsea boss delivered a Champions League title during his spell at Stamford Bridge and will be aiming to scoop his second with Bayern this term.
West Ham weighing up their options
TBR Football revealed on Tuesday that Ruben Amorim has not been offered the manager’s job at West Ham.

Elsewhere, the same intermediaries involved in talks over Amorim have put forward former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui.
The Hammers are currently weighing up their options, with Fulham’s Marco Silva, Wolves boss Gary O’Neil, Lille’s Paulo Fonseca and Feyenoord’s Arne Slot all admired at the London Stadium.
The list of candidates is likely to excite West Ham supporters, with many growing frustrated over Moyes’ pragmatic brand of football this season.
Moyes has done an excellent job in east London after delivering a European trophy under 12 months ago.
But with his contract set to expire in June, his future remains uncertain and West Ham are assessing potential replacements.
