The west London club look set to miss on out a Champions League spot as they sit five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with just eight games to go.
Conte is expected to leave in the summer, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Tuchel tipped to be the Italian’s replacement. Ballack believes his German compatriot is ready to make the step up to a club of Chelsea’s stature.
However, the former Chelsea midfielder fears Tuchel would turn down the Blues if they fail to finish in the top four.
Ballack told Betfair: “One thing I am sure of is that Thomas Tuchel is ready and able to manage a top club.
“Whether is it Arsenal, [Paris St-Germain] or even at Chelsea.
"It does not matter. He is ready.
“Chelsea’s participation in the Champions League next season will have a big impact on Tuchel’s next role.”
