'Sport Build' reports that Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has already had enough of Conte's antics and is keen on a change.
Tuchel and Luis Enrique are two options that the Blues are considering, but the former is favoured because of his better grasp of English.
Roman Abrahimovich was also forced to ask a few questions after Chelsea's shock 3-2 home defeat to Burnley on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
However, 'Daily Telegraph' reporter Matt Law, who is known for his Chelsea links, has been quick to shut down the speculation linking Tuchel with a move to Stamford bridge.
Chelsea have no succession plan for Conte and Tuchel is not a name on their radar #cfc
