set on thomas tuchel, a man who one chelsea is set on thomas tuchel, a man who won the league twice in france. he is used to impatience. paris sacked him last month. tuchel said there expectations were too high. he is used to perspective. he was the reserves manager 13 years ago. he got his first shot with mainz. he's a very passionate guy. he has a lot of fire in his belly. but i personally think you need to have that to succeed. i have a good relationship with him. obviously, at some point, you want 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. there is a blueprint for german coaches here. tuchel knows how to followjurgen klopp. he's replaced him at two bundesliga clubs before. there was that £200 million spend that didn't work for lampard. tuchel needs two negative covid tests to be in charge. back home, they call him the professor, a tactician who get the best from those around him. but for coaches at chelsea, what matters most is the view of those above. joe

because we are still working with vulnerable young people, but we have been halted from using sports to engage with those same vulnerable young people. that's all from the bbc sport centre. have a good night. hello there. the weather has been gradually turning a little bit less cold as we've gone on through the day today as this area of cloud, this weather system has been pushing its way eastwards across the uk. we get into the cold airfor a time. there were a few flakes of snow on the forward edge of the system. the snow turned back to rain over the pennines and we've seen a bit of a wintriness there in the scottish borders as well. it's really north of the central belt where we're likely to see heavier snow over the higher ground. overnight, it stays very cloudy. we'll see another pulse of rain working across wales, southern counties of england, and for most of us, there will be a lot of low cloud around. some mist and hill fog pretty extensive, but a lot milder than it has been for a number of nights, temperatures two, maybe as much as eight or nine degrees celsius towards the south—west. wednesday, damp start to the day across southern england, and for most parts of the country, i suspect it's just going to be quite grey and cloudy, mist and hill fog patches around. best of the sunshine in northern scotland, and here, there's likely to be a few wintry showers coming and going from time to time. later in the afternoon, we'll see more rain pushing back into the south of wales and also across parts of south—west england, but very mild, temperatures ten or 11 degrees across the south. wednesday night and into thursday, we've got this battle zone set up across the uk. mild to the south of this weatherfront, cold air across the north east. and we're going to see some heavy rain, could bring some localised flooding across the north west, but at higher elevations, these routes could be affected by heavy snow. the a57 snakes past the m62 going across the pennines, the m6 and the a7a are all high enough to see a significant spell of snow wednesday night and into thursday. so, very mild, no chance of any snow at all in cardiff and london with temperatures 12 to ia respectively. but across the north of scotland, it's still cold, temperatures about four. so, there is a risk of seeing some disruption on thursday, but it's likely to be the high ground in scotland and northern england. 15—30 cm possible. 30 is a foot of snow — imagine what that would do to the roads. now, heading into friday, our frontal zone actually turns around and starts to move its way southwards again, colder air filtering a little bit further southwards across scotland and into the northern edge of this weather system. we'll probably see the rain turn to snow, particularly over the high ground, but it wouldn't be too surprising to see a few flakes at lower levels just as the system is starting to pull away. mild again in the south, colderfurther north and into the weekend, a threat of a bit more hill snow. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. britain becomes the first european state, to record more
