FOOTBALL: Thomas Tuchel Will Not Coach Leeds United Against Chelsea The Following Saturday

Thomas Tuchel Will Not Coach Leeds United Against Chelsea The Following Saturday. Thomas Tuchel could be forced to watch from the stands as Leeds United take on Chelsea next weekend. The Blues boss was shown a red card after the full-time whistle after clashing with Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte.

Both managers were dismissed and will serve a one-match suspension provided the Premier League upholds the decision which looks likely. After Spurs’ first equaliser midway through the second half, the pair clashed and the game drew to a halt.

An initial yellow card did not prevent Tuchel and Conte from clashing again at the final whistle – moments after Harry Kane snatched a 96th-minute equaliser. An argument escalated when the two went to shake hands following a full-blooded affair at Stamford Bridge.
