Tuchel on La Real list?

Thomas Tuchel is reportedly on Real Sociedad’s list to replace Jagoba Arrasate if results don’t improve.

It was reported that defeat to Cordoba would see the Basques make a change on the bench, and after the 1-1 draw, Arrasate remains a game away from the sack.

Former Real Betis and West Brom Coach Pepe Mel and Jaunde Ramos, ex of Sevilla, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Dnipro, have been contacted, AS reports.

Mel is under option to replace Arrasate but the name of Tuchel has surfaced over the weekend and is considered a strong candidate should a vacancy arise.

Tuchel caught the eye with his work at Mainz and is considered in Germany as a Coach in the mould of Jurgen Klopp, the Borussia Dortmund trainer, AS say.

He resigned from Mainz at the end of last season and is on La Real’s shortlist, having also been a candidate for the post in 2011.

La Real are said to want to conduct negotiations with a new Coach while Arrasate is employed, so a change can be made as smoothly as possible.

If no new Coach is found by next weekend then Arrasate will remain in charge for the visit of Celta Vigo.
