hello there, i'm 0lly foster and here's what's coming up for you on sportsday this evening. thomas tuchel is set to take the rein, but is it a bigger gamble for chelsea or him? south africa are on top in karachi as they make their long—awaited return to pakistan. and sir lewis hamilton and mercedes are playing the long game with their contract talks, but will he sign for the new season?

good evening. things move very fast in football. blink at chelsea and you might miss one of their managers passing through. thomas tuchel�*s expected to sign an 18—month deal shortly, the same time that frank lampard lasted. he was the tenth to be sacked since roman abramovitch bought the club in 2003. claudio ranieri was the first to go. two league titles and three cups couldn't save jose mourinho. nojoy for avram grant and big phil scolari who followed. guus hiddink won the cup in his seven months as caretaker. a league and cup double for ancelotti but a barren second season did for him. andre vilas boas couldn't see

out a full campaign. roberto di mateo came in and won the fa cup and the champions league. he was gone six months later, rafa benitez finished off that season with the europa league. welcome back, jose, another league title and league cup. hiddink picked up the pieces again in an interim role. before things picked up under antonio conte, another league and cup, maurizio sarri the only manager not to get the boot. and cup, maurizio sarri, the only manager not to get the boot. he won the europa league in his one season and then went home to italy. frank lampard won all his trophies under some of those managers, but his management didn't cut it so tuchel it is for the owner. joe lynskey reports. roman abramovich goes for coaches who have one major title that the biggest clubs. frank lampard was the exception, but now that phase is over. chelsea is set on thomas tuchel, a man who —— a man who one

believed twice in france. he is used to and patients. paris sacked him last month. tuchel said there expectations are too high. he is used to it. he was the reserves manager 13 years ago. he got his first shot. �* , . , manager 13 years ago. he got his firstshot. �*, . , ., ., first shot. he's a very passionate cu . first shot. he's a very passionate au . he first shot. he's a very passionate guy- he has _ first shot. he's a very passionate guy- he has a — first shot. he's a very passionate guy. he has a lot _ first shot. he's a very passionate guy. he has a lot of _ first shot. he's a very passionate guy. he has a lot of fire - first shot. he's a very passionate guy. he has a lot of fire in - first shot. he's a very passionate guy. he has a lot of fire in his . guy. he has a lot of fire in his belly, but i personally have a good relationship... 0bviously, at some point, you wanted to get the best out of him, but it was only to improve myself. he understands the psychology of players. back then, he was younger than he is now so i think all the experience has helped him. from my point of view, he's done a greatjob everywhere. him. from my point of view, he's done a great job everywhere.

developed as a manager. h 1 beginnings in mind were... everyone outside the club, a big surprise because he was promoted from being a youth coach to being a manager of the first team, but he very quickly adapted to that newjob and he's always been the kind of manager who works very, very thoroughly. he always been the kind of manager who works very, very thoroughly.- works very, very thoroughly. he sort of follows jurgen _ works very, very thoroughly. he sort of follows jurgen klopp _ works very, very thoroughly. he sort of follows jurgen klopp in _ works very, very thoroughly. he sort of follows jurgen klopp in the - works very, very thoroughly. he sort of follows jurgen klopp in the early l of followsjurgen klopp in the early years, he won the cup in germany but then from being this thinking manager and doing the basis for the last couple years, he's been working with the likes of name are in dealing with very big characters. how do you think he's going to take that experience into this chelsea job? i that experience into this chelsea “ob? ~' , job? i think it will help him. i wasn't surprised _ job? i think it will help him. i wasn't surprised that - job? i think it will help him. i wasn't surprised that he - job? i think it will help him. i| wasn't surprised that he went job? i think it will help him. i. wasn't surprised that he went to job? i think it will help him. i- wasn't surprised that he went to a big club when he did go to paris because i think he's a really brilliant coach. i think what has

maybe been a little problem for him is what you mentioned following jurgen klopp, because people always compare the two of them because they both come from but they are two different characters. he thinks his character is misjudged and i think chelsea can look forward to having him. he chelsea can look forward to having him. ., , , ., ., ., him. he got this reputation for causina a him. he got this reputation for causing a bit — him. he got this reputation for causing a bit of— him. he got this reputation for causing a bit of trouble - him. he got this reputation for causing a bit of trouble at - him. he got this reputation for- causing a bit of trouble at dortmund rs, causing a bit of trouble at dortmund �*s, not really listening to the people who are paying him from above. there is only going to be one winner if he gets into a fight at chelsea with the owner. are you a bit surprised that he's moving into that kind of environment? h0. bit surprised that he's moving into that kind of environment? no, not at all, that kind of environment? no, not at all. because — that kind of environment? no, not at all. because i— that kind of environment? no, not at all, because i think _ that kind of environment? no, not at all, because i think as _ that kind of environment? no, not at all, because i think as a _ that kind of environment? no, not at all, because i think as a person, - all, because i think as a person, he's pretty fearless and he should be. i think part of what has paid into that, how people look at him, is that he was never afraid to pick a fight with a player that has been

in the club long. but if you talk to players, head coach played under tuchel, he could tell how tuchel made him better and how if you listened to him as a player, how much potential you find in yourself to develop. i think anybody training under him can count himself lucky. mara pfeiffer, thanks for your thoughts on the new man coming in. you're welcome.— thoughts on the new man coming in. you're welcome. mara pfeiffer there. the tuchel regime _ you're welcome. mara pfeiffer there. the tuchel regime expected - you're welcome. mara pfeiffer there. the tuchel regime expected to - you're welcome. mara pfeiffer there. the tuchel regime expected to start l the tuchel regime expected to start on the bench against wolves tomorrow. that's where it all starts for him. there are four premier games tonight.

drew savage reports. security in karachi has been understandably tight. pakistan have to play most of their international cricket abroad since the terrorist attack of 2009. 1a years in south africa last set foot in a cricket ground in pakistan, and the captain was five years away from making his test debut. he soon made himself at home here, though. i have symmetry seem to put him in charge. but once pakistan got rid of him, things change —— seemed to put him in charge. bowled out forjust 220. but a pitch that had students been also suited robata. pakistan had five runs when he's struck and soon, he was at it again. 15 for two. pakistan's captain, the next man out. home turf, suddenly no help. he

still to come on sportsday... we'll hear from jill scott on a new challenge at an old club. and how is pip hare bearing up now she's on the home staright she's on the home straight in the vendee globe. you've got to keep eating and keep listening to your body. the mercedes team principle toto wolff says they are having to deal with some curveballs as they try to tie sir lewis hamilton down to a new contract. negotatiaions with the world champion have been going on for some time and the formula one season is just a couple of months away. i asked out f1 reporterjenny gow what the hold up is. i don't think there's really cause for concern at the moment. coronavirus is of course affecting

everybody. the two parties i believe didn't even start talking until at least the 18th of december, so if you look at it like that, of course it's going to take some time. lewis hamilton �*s had at his recovery from coronavirus, so no negotiations continue. and it is a strange situation to be in with the biggest star in formula 1 not contracted to the greatest team in formula 1 at the greatest team in formula 1 at the moment, but the team assured us there is no real problem, itjust hasn't been done yet. there is no real problem, it 'ust hasn't been done yeti there is no real problem, it 'ust hasn't been done yet. that's 'ust the thing because i hasn't been done yet. that's 'ust the thing because unless i hasn't been done yet. that'sjust the thing because unless red - hasn't been done yet. that'sjust l the thing because unless red bull, ferrari up their game considerably, lewis hamilton probably won't win a world title anywhere else. i’zre world title anywhere else. i've referred to — world title anywhere else. i've referred to it _ world title anywhere else. i've referred to it as _ world title anywhere else. i've referred to it as an _ world title anywhere else. i�*e: referred to it as an open world title anywhere else. ia: referred to it as an open goal. really, he's got the best car, the best team, he's the best driver on the field. his opposition last year couldn't come close to him, his own team—mate. i think for him to get
