Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has split from his wife, Sissi, after 13 years of marriage, according to a report by UK-based newspaper, The Mail on Sunday.
Sissi, according to the report, began divorce proceedings last week.
Sissi, a former journalist, moved to the UK in August, seven months after Tuchel joined Chelsea from the French team Paris Saint-Germain.
Tuchel initially stayed in a hotel before the family set up home in Cobham, Surrey, near Chelsea’s training ground.
The German, who is reportedly paid £7million a year, now faces a multi-million-pound divorce deal. His wife, according to The Mail on Sunday, gave up her job at the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung to bring up their family, so may be entitled to a slice of his future earnings as well as up to half of his current fortune.
The newspaper, quoting sources, said the couple are determined to keep the divorce amicable.
Just 10 months ago, Sissi was spotted running across the pitch at Porto’s Estadio do Dragao before leaping into her husband’s arms after Chelsea secured a 1-0 Champions League victory over Manchester City.
