Tuchel had been linked with the Aston Villa job after Steve Gerrard was relieved of his duties last, while reports in Germany claim Bayer Leverkusen were also interested by before they appointed Xavi Alonso.
"I haven't made a decision yet," Tuchel told Sport Star.
"It is now time for me to take a break. Some clubs have been calling my manager but we agreed that he would not call me here for these past 18 days."
When asked about his departure from Chelsea, he added, "I loved every day at Chelsea. It came to an end too early for me, but it was out of my hands. This is also what you sign up for."
The German tactician revealed that a couple games in the Blues' Champions League-winning campaign was some of his memorable highlights.
"There were many games that I was really happy with – the ones against Real Madrid (2-0), Atletico Madrid (2-0), Porto (2-0 and 1-0) and the final (1-0 against Manchester City )."
