Thomas Tuchel had a season like no other in 2020/21. He won the Champions League with Chelsea just 6 months after being fired by PSG. The triumph marked the latest highlight in Tuchel's glittering career. But his road to the top has been bumpy to say the least. While his tactical genius has brought him success at Mainz, Dortmund, PSG and now in London, he has also fallen out spectacularly with various people at those clubs, with one former player even calling him a "dictator." Kick off! looks back at Tuchel's development from bartender to coaching mastermind.

Love the part where PSG loses its final with Tuchel, dismisses him and sees him win the next UCL final.
Karma if you can say that.
Im a PSG fan and I love Tuchel so much, what a bad decision
I’m psg fan, I like tuchel but during his last 4months in Paris he was extremely bad
And the fact that PSG did not even win the French Ligue 1 title without him! Despite all the gazillions of money the Qatari are spending, Lille made it last season! :D
@@ici_marmotte bro we were 4th in January with Tuchel
He’s finally somewhere that just lets him do what he wants to do. There are no superstars or owners getting in his way
Thats it! Abramovich and Tuchel both have a massive midas touch...a great combination
@@TizerisT. explain Sari?
I give him 3 years, 4 at max before he gets the boot.
@@10mangakid 3 years at Chelsea is almost like Ferguson at UTD man
@@mareklindner9333 lmaooo was thinking the same thing
At Chelsea, we love abrasive characters. We love his desire for success. It feels like we hit the jackpot
You did hit the jackpot, and I think Tuchel did too. Tuchel seems to have finally found a club where there aren't egos/owners getting in his way, and now Chelsea is unstoppable
We have hit the jackpot until we do our usual ans sack em
I'm German and I hoped that he become our national couch, because he is a genious . Now we have another good coach, but Tuchel is the king :) I had colleagues at work who told me I don't know anything about soccer he is difficult character, but this doesn't matter. Chelsea should hold him and pay him a lot he is worth it.
I mean.. we already won the UCL and the Super Cup.. one thats left is the Club World Cup.. nonetheless.. what we had achieved with TT in this short amount of time is already mind blasting..
Hahahahah “we” 😂😂
Today( On7 September 2022) he has been sacked by Chelsea 💔😭and that shocked the football world ...He was one of the best coach in the world to be honest 🤗...Let's not forget to thank him for winning the Champions league trophy for us (Chelsea)💙he will be our legend
He Got His Job Back As Bayern München Manager/Coach!
Pep once said that the managers with the most potential were Tuchel and Conte. Seems he's living up to that potential.
When kloppo left he also identified Tuchel as a prodigy. He left and told us to get Tuchel as a trainer
And both had been Chelsea’s manager. Chelsea is always get the best manager
@@stoned0123 I think we get all the managers xD we haven't hired pep or klopp yet but I never want to lose Tuchel so I don't care that we never had those two managers
@@stoned0123 didn't you guys hire Lampard 🤣
Easy prediction
He's currently in a club where no sporting directors, no boards will ask him what to do and what not to do. Chelsea and Tuchel are literally match made in heaven.
Err.... You might be forgetting Mademoiselle Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech; one handles the business end and the other, the technical part. Of course, not as intravenous as Leonardo at PSG.
@@maxpower.5189 Marina and Petr knows what's best for the club and are open for discussion, that's why Chelsea signed Lukaku and Saul, we desperately need them. I get what you're saying though.
@@Vincent-hn4ik Yeah and Cech and Marina aren't gonna stand in Tuchel's way, Tuchel wants Lukaku, they went and got Lukaku.
yes i agree with you but when he start losing games he is out quick andchelsea owner is ruthless
There is only one person anyone answers to at Chelsea, from the coach to a player to a fan, and that is Roman. And Roman is as demanding, driven, and success focused as Tuchel. Roman demands success. So does Tuchel. They are a great match and I, as a Blue, will enjoy the ride, no matter how long it lasts.
As a utd fan, i've been in awe of TT since he's radically transformed chelsea, I've become the biggest fan of his tactics, absolutely brilliant.
I can only imagine how jarring and discouraging it would be as a utd fan when you compare Ole to Tuchel.
@@gdo3510 can't even say those names in the same sentence together. TT is the most tactical coach in the world at this moment. No one's close. No one.
he only defending pussy and now chelsea is sinking they gonna win nothing more believe me you gonna see this season
Ole.. ole ole ole.. nobody can ever compare to how much joy Ole gives to the opposing team
Congratulations, we're now getting TT's mentor, so I guess we know what we can expect
As someone growing up in Mainz and living with this Club since I was a little child, this video perfectly shows, what Tuchel did to a broken Team like Mainz 05. If I think back, the athmosphere, the energy and the team spirit were unbelievable. I've never seen this much football enthusiasm in Mainz, than back in 2009-2012.
Do you remember when Tuchel was there? Is there anything you can tell us about his time there that maybe haven't been widely reported abroad or is it all known about? (I know he asked to be released early from Mainz as he thought he'd achieved everything he could there)
@@ktkee7161 The relationship with Tuchel and Mainz got worse by time, because as the video mentioned, Tuchel is a difficult guy. Nevertheless, Mainz had sucess with him. He wasnt nearly as close to the fans as Klopp was, which just isnt the person Mainz supporters wanted to have. We're a small club, where its important, that the communication and connection between club and fans gets established. Still he was an amazing coach here and brought us to the Europa League only 2 years after we got into the Bundesliga
@@ktkee7161the fact that he won a game against Bayern with Mainz and then just replaced almost all 11 players to play next upcoming game in a different style says it all. Also that at Dortmund the team was against his decisions, but still won the trophy :)
@Zed Klopp spent 7years at Dortmund and Tuchel 2years and in those two went to two cup finals winning one and finishing second in the league. He also spent 2 years at psg, during which he won two league titles and the French cup plus finishing as runners up in the champs League
If you grew up in Mainz then you know what you’ve said is utter lies. That club was built from 2001 onwards, they were in the second tier of German football staring at relegation, gave Klopp the job, he won 6 of his first 7 games and they avoided relegation, 2 seasons later he gets them to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. They had the smallest budget, stadium and wage budget in the Bundesliga yet finished 11th that first season. They finished 11th the following season as well and also qualified for the UEFA cup being knocked out by the eventual winners. Tuchel joined Mainz straight after Klopp left for Dortmund so already had Mainz best ever squad in their history to work with, just like the rest of his career, walking into a club already built by someone else and taking credit for that.
The last clip is so telling about his genuine ambition for greatness. He wasn’t saying, “where’s the next trophy?” Or “when’s the next cup final?” It was “when’s the next process gonna start, the next struggle, the next mountain.” He loves the process and it shows with his work ethic and passion
He will burn out though, not soon but it's a human thing to burnout and get some rest like some coaches do.
@@May16Joe Jose Mourinho is giving you the evil side-eye.

He didn't say the next struggle fanboy
@@GosuHub he said process read properly

@@user-he5qd3qh8j in Dortmund he was trash 🗑
I remember seeing him when Borussia Dortmund went to Malaysia for a friendly match a few years ago. He was nice to the fans that waited for the team at the hotel. Even back then you can tell he was destined for greatness cause this guy is too much of a genius to not be successful as a coach/manager. He's a great fit for Chelsea and the Premiere League so i'm glad he's doing very well atm (even though i used to hate tuchel at times when he was still at dortmund lol)
Amen. hehe

@@melzer1377 Oh really?! The voice in my head tells me that you are waiting for TT because its one of the list on your wet dream to fulfill on your bucket list
As a chelsea fan, I am very VERY greatful that we have Thomas Tuchel as our manager OMFG thank you Tuchel you really stole our hearts soo much 💙
Ya let's see how long before he gets the sack
@@MoejiiOsmanTV Tuchel is at Chelsea to stay. He is going nowhere
@@chukwukaegbujio1076 😂😂
As a Chelsea fan this is best and the first detailed perfect documentary I've ever watched on our coach. Thanks to dwtv. Home of masterclass documentary 👌. Tuchel is amazing
Tuchel is an excellent coach. This video overstates by portraying him as a genius with so-called innovations and playing different formations with different players. Different players have different strengths and weaknesses, so of course you use them accordingly; not rocket science. His Achilles heel, though, is that he plays favorites with players . If he can control his urge to play players based on how much he gets on with them, whether or not they’ll bow down to his strong-arm tactics with players. Watch who sits for Chelsea and you’ll understand those are the players who will stand up to him for not treating them as people, rather than as a dictator.
@@mesoanarchy Don't worry, this is Chelsea and he has to keep performing to keep his job. No time for dictatorship. However we will get his best years as manager just like Mourinho.
@@mesoanarchy tbf it works both ways. Rudiger went from a laughing stock to world-class in four months, all because Tuchel tried to buy him twice previously & knew how to bring out his qualities. All top coaches basically work like that. If they believe that they can get the best out of someone, they will.
@@euanmabrown97 - Sorry, not all coaches bully players. The ones who do never last at one spot as long as they'd like because the moment the team flounders, the team the stuff that goes on behind the scene that damaging to the coach comes flying out. In every sport this is the way it goes with people who berate players and play favorites with others. Welcome to Tuchel's career so far.
@@rickygervaissaidhi2524 - Agreed.
He's also the best manager at spitting bars on the sideline 🧢🎤👊
That hand curled into a mic while dropping tactics to the players. .Chills!
Haha indeed 😂
He never came up against Papa Doc
He's good at sign language as well. In the Villa game, he was telling some player something using sign language.
Only real ones get this😂
this makes me want to cry now that he’s gone forever a Chelsea legend
We miss you in chelsea
I think he is a perfect fit for Chelsea that has great passion, little tolerance for failure and getting the job done at all cost. He may surprisingly be the longest serving Chelsea coach in the last decade.
@@cfcwhite you completely missed his point but okay.
He will last 2_3 years, nothing more
@@nancymichael6448 he grasped the point but disagreed
He could win the CL for the next 4 years, but if he finishes 7th in the Premier League in the 5th year, Roman will have him gone. Such is the nature of Chelsea Football Club.
Imbalance creates illness.
he many not be klopp, simone, or pep, but he does look like all the kraftwerk members combined into one person - and that is his greatest asset.
He's a better coach than all you mentioned.
lmaooo kraftwerk 💀💀
Hahaha. Quintessentially German.
His pep mou simeone klopp in one person. You can call it Thomas Tuchel
@@thefactisfactis Absolutely not
Love Tuchel, he's an absolute genius and everyone at the club loves him. I hope he stays here for years to come💙
just got fired
@@fuzzman9298 by a united statesian oligarch who bought the club to launder his dirty money.
The way he spoke every language so fluently is what impresses me, you could see his French gradually improve
Abramovich demands trophies every year and demands Chelsea to be serious contenders for league titles and the CL each season. You can see that with how fast RA is with sacking coaches. It’s the same with Tuchel. He wants to win every trophy he can get his hands one. Tuchel may have had a falling out with the other boards, but as long as he keeps winning, RA and Tuchel will be best buds.
That's what we want to see and winning all trophies and I personally so grateful to having owner like Roman 💙🦁
I couldn't agree more
This is all facts, Thomas and Roman are cut from the same cloth
Tuchel has tactical genius of Pep with SAF's hairdrying attributes. Shows that hairdrying isn't sustainable in modern day footballers.
as I remember he force the player to watch Leicester celebration after lose FA cup final
Thomas Tuchel is a maniac, totally obsessed and an absolute perfectionist. As a player, he can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. I have nothing but respect for him and as a Dortmund fan I have to say it was the stupidest decision to part with him.
der typ ist nicht ganz sauber in der birne. ein soziopath!
I noticed this when he was celebrating the ECL with the players in the locker room. Its like he was faking emotions.
@@RayEttler wie alle genies
he should be thankful to Dortmund and power addicted idiot Watzke. I think Dortmund helped him with this decision to become as good as he is today.
@@jasonparker1454 Yeah maybe, but I think he would not be any less good if he had stayed in dortmund longer.
I'm emotionally attached to this man! He's ruthless and demand so much on the pitch yet so calm and composed when facing the media. His IQ is very good!
Indeed! It must be close to 100.
@@MisAnnThorpe Do you have any basic knowledge about IQ? 100 is the median. The absolute average IQ. Science even adjusts it, so that it stays 100, even if people get smarter. Tuchel studied economy, not the hardest study, but still, and learns languages very fast. His IQ is well above 110, probably around 115-120
His comment at 5.40 mins. is spot on. It should be framed and put up in every professional and grassroot football club. No player is above the team. If a player only plays in his own bubble the team suffers. Egos, solo artists and show ponies will get you followers on silly social media platforms, but they are the death of team sports. There are 11 players on the field. If you don't work for each other you won't have success. Kudos to Tuchel for sticking that to one of his players, whoever it was.
*"We will build a team that no one would like to play against" remains iconic , we are proud of you Tactician TuChelSea* 💙💙💙⚽⚽⚽
Professor Tuchel
Except Liverpool
@@mr.dundos Liverpool which couldn't beat Chelsea with a red card?
@@mr.dundos What do you even mean by that? The played exactly one time against each other and Chelsea won. However for me Liverpool and Chelsea are the top contenders for this year´s Premier League. Even before both Manchester clubs.
@@mr.dundos what a joke you must be a CLOWN
I really hope he stays at Chelsea for long. Man said yes to one of the most ruthless clubs in the world while he has a history of falling out with the board😅 atleast all Marina and Roman care about is winning and not how, so maybe the personalities actually work with eachother
A match made in heaven. Win trophies for two seasons, fall out with the board, get your severance package and bounce. Can't complain as a Chelsea fan if it gets success
I think he falls out with them when they don't do what he's envisioned for the club
@@footballbrainer279 At the end of the day, the board is permanent. He's the employee. Only one party is walking in the case of a falling out.
@@chigozieagwuncha2166 yeah sadly, the coach is always the scapegoat when players underperform too
The board literally had problems with conte because of conte felt dissatisfied with the board not buying the players he wanted. Hell we fired ancelotti when he was in his prime! BECAUSE OF A SECOND PLACE FINISH!?
Maybe because we are not alone, we say 'why is the US so rich' not 'why is US so rich'
Relax, it's not that deep. It's called enjoying life.
Who cares? There's nothing wrong here in my opinion. If two club vibes, they've chemistry lol
I have realised the value of money, it's tremendous. Money is magic. I'll take all I can get, I hope I never miss a meal again. I've been dead broke so many times.
@@jamesmarcus4105 It's really fascinating to see younger people are just confused and looking for financial security.
@@blaicushman455 Talking about financial security, it's strange how people talk about all the profits they've been making through trading of bitcoin. While am here not making any profit at all, please can Someone put me through on the right path or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Can’t believe I’m just finding your channel. Great content👍. Keep it up chap.
Tuchel and Chelsea seem like a good fit. Chelsea wants results, so will let Tuchel have control as long as he brings home trophies. And Chelsea's players seem to be disciplined professionals who follow directions and do not have the egoism of certain other elite players.
I think so too. Roman abramovich wants trophies and same goes for tuchel. I feel like they'll be best buddies lol. Chelsea's player treat manager like they master which I think every player should. To me he feels like a perfect manager. Chelsea don't have super star players hyped by media like crazy.
Well said. Chelsea's squad is the difference IMO vs PSG or BVB. The squad is full of extremely intelligent and experienced professionals who are dedicated to winning and discipline (Azpi, Kante, Marcos, Jorginho, Thiago, Ruediger, Mount, etc.) and they are a perfect fit for a demanding and methodical coach like Tuchel. When you have big individual egos like Neymar and Mbappe it is far more difficult for an inflexible personality like Thomas.
I'm sorry to interfere in your peaceful discussion but it is safe to say from the POV of a Chelsea fan that this is utter bs my friend. The CURRENT Chelsea team might have disciplined professionals but it hasn't been the case always. Why do you think Chelsea sack managers the most? It is because of player-egos. Every previous manager has criticised the Chelsea dressing room. Also, please refrain from spreading opinions as facts because it is hard to hear things about your team which are so far from the truth.
@@naman6026 I am talking about the current setup. We have had other players with more ego. But most managers are fired because they do not produce results. Manager longivity is based on trophies.
@@naman6026 ćš
Amazing coach...as a BVB fan i absolutely enjoyed his Football there at that time.. Wish him all the best
Do you think his playing style and tactics were more better at BVB than jurgen klop?
I loved how he played Julian Weigl
@@footballbrainer279 okay, that's nice
@@giftkelvin6519 depends, he started to make experiments in the defense at that time so that lead to dortmund droping points and important matches, now he learned better and Chelsea have an amazing defense, for the attack i think yes, he improved the team that already had a fast counter attack style under klopp
@@giftkelvin6519 yes because he played 343 and optimized fullback
Frank Lampard was definitely necessary for when the club when we had our transfer ban, bring in some new blood like Mason Mount, Tomori, Abraham, James but it was clear that Frank when he bought in new players he was going to struggle as they were players who needed a manager who knew their abilities, and plus our defensive record wasn't great, we always had a great defence in the past, Tommy Tuchels priority in making sure we do well defensively was genius, won us the Champions League which at start we wasn't even favourites, then following start looking improving the goals
His personality, specially on the last clip, reminds me of the one of Nikki Lauda. Both perfectionist, both eager for putting on the hard work, both prioritizing rational thinking over passions.
To be honest Chelsea is the perfect club for him because, our club owner is also obsessed with perfection and winning! Emotions are important but results speak louder at Chelsea football club.
Horrible club
@@ethanc1719 I know that's brutal but that's the only reason we're one of the most successful club in England at the moment.
@@anvaygupta9321 arsenal too soft atm
Too early to make such claim. See what happened when the cookies crumbles!
tbh I kinda agree on what you're saying but it also comes with some positive and negative perks with him joining Chelsea. Chelsea have the tendency to terminate contracts of managers like it is nobody's business... we've seen that in previous managers. You can claim it as "ambitious club" "hunger to win trophies"... but sometimes it is never about that. You get to lose the touch or the identity to become a " big" club... They can become the best club for a season or two, but a big club is very different. You can clearly see that in Manchester United Fergie Era, He laid the foundation so strong that even in the bad times and not winning trophies era they're still a big club, not the best club but they do have that Identity in them... but modern day football has changed a lot but I wouldn't be surprised in a season or two he'll be gone with players turning their backs or fallout with the owners.
Tuchel : "why not?" Haaland: hey that's my line
westbrook: y'all ripping me off
Lol
Absolutely LOVE this man. Gonna moss him in my club forever. Thank you for everything you gave us Blues, Super Tommy T
Not even a blink till the whole video ended, wow this is a documentary master class 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️thanks dwtv Germany
Would love a series like this for every top manager. Seeing how their personalities are visible in their playstyles is so interesting.
@KICKOFF
Tuchel is one in a million
My favorite moments when Mbappe snubs him when being substituted, Tuchel never backs down and confronted him directly. Tuchel stood like mob boss.
👍
Every football fan loves him. I'm a Barca supporter still I love to watch Tuchel's team play. What an amazing coach!!!
Thank for this great documentary.As a Chelsea fan I really appreciate it💙.Love from PK💚.
A truly detail packed 15 minutes, amazing stuff as always from DW!
as a Chelsea fan, I would have never expected such a quick and decisive impact from TT. It is astounding... It feels too good to be true to be honest. The club seems in perfect harmony. TUCHELSEA is a match made in heaven!
How did you not see this coming. Every time your player fall out with the manager and stop playing for him. They sack them and the next guy comes in and wins something. You have some unbelievable players at your club but they have too much power
@@andrewwilson5722 I think it has been true in the past, especially with Hazard who even admitted it during Mourinho MK2 but this time I think that Lampard is the one who refused to play certain players who are now proving him wrong big time (Alonso, Rüdiger, Christensen..) It pains me to say because he is probably my favorite Chelsea player but as a coach and besides the introduction of the youth (mount/reece), he was not ready as a coach.
@@ninjesus4079 he was nowhere near ready for that job and I find it funny how he was with AVB when he was the manager
Thank you for your great documentaries.
Such detailed documentary on tuchel!👍👍
I love how TT klopp and guardiola have so much respect for each other while getting back at each other
He has never changed. He still uses his coaching techniques since the first day he coached Mainz. And he also adapted to new and advanced techniques. That is why he is the best coach itw atm
His man management probably improve at Chelsea
He doesn't have a particular coaching tactic. He changes tactics based on his opponents. Even at chelsea you see him constantly making changes, he doesn't have a fixed starting lineup.
@@nancymichael6448 fair point
If we were to define playing style, it’s one word. Tight.
I am always incredibly impressed by his language skills. German is his mother tongue, but how he expresses himself in French with complex words is quite impressive. His English is also really good...

Watching this today after Chelsea have inexplicably fired Tuchel is SO BIZARRE! He has won Chelsea a Champion's League, kept them in the top 4 with no indications he'd drop out of it and in just the last 6 months he has taken Chelsea to the Carabao Cup Final AND the FA Cup Final losing both on Penalties (which everybody knows is the same as the flip of a coin) against Liverpool who were the best team in the world during 21/22! And as of his firing he's only 5 points off the top of the EPL Table after an incredibly messy last year in the Management/Business Side of Chelsea where he had to take over multiple responsibilities that normally the Manager would never have to go near but he did anyway because that's the kind of hard working, relentless manager he is. Oh and Chelsea JUST moved out OVER A DOZEN PLAYERS IN ONE WINDOW and then BROUGHT IN a Quarter of a Billion POUNDS! Not Euros or Dollars POUNDS! On LITERALLY A DOZEN NEW PLAYERS who will ALL need to be bedded in to the team and assessed and experimented with to see who works best in what positions, who has the best chemistry and what combinations work against specific opposition setups & players, etc, etc, which is JUST in itself without ANY DOUBT the BIGGEST undertaking EVER by a Manager in a Single Transfer Window by a Top 6 EPL Team who has been and is expecting to continue to contend in every competition. And the new regime in charge of Chelsea decided that after JUST 6 games into the new season, with all these new players which one can only assume were picked and chosen BY TUCHEL to play in HIS VERY UNIQUE STYLE, in which Chelsea had shown various Highs and Lows as one would expect from literally every manager ever whether they were Tuchel, Ferguson or Cruyff. That SOMEHOW a sample size of 6 games was in the minds of the New Regime MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME for Tuchel to have sorted things out and to be winning every game convincingly from here on out... And so Tuchel having failed to deliver the results they are absurdly demanding of him they have chosen to FIRE a Manager who is at his best a Top 5 Manager in World Football! An EXTRAORDINARILY VALUABLE COMMODITY that in the past 15 or so years in particular we have learned has a greater impact on a teams chances of winning than even a Ballon d'Or Winner! And Chelsea KNOWING THIS, AND knowing they just spent £250m on Players that, again, were presumably picked by and for Tuchel and his play style, have FIRED a Top 5 Manager in World Football AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A CONFIRMED REPLACEMENT WHEN THEY DID IT!!! THEY'RE F"C£ING WINGING IT! Only NOW have discussions with Brighton's Manager Graham Potter taken place and has he been confirmed for the job... You heard that right, they fired a Top 5 Manager in World Football, a guy 95% of all teams would KILL to get, ESPECIALLY with ALL of his VERY RECENT successes with Chelsea FC and after conducting a short search they have decided to replace him with Graham Potter from Brighton. A Top 10 Premier League Manager... Pure Lunacy. I don't think it's crazy to say they might miss out on the Top 4 as a result of letting go of Tuchel.
PSG and Chelsea are a mess after he left 😭
Watching this after tuchel is sacked absolutely heartbroken life comes thick and fast at you
I feel a match against Bayern is due time. The team that Tuchel played most and gave him the most defeats in his career.
Absolutely. I still feel Bayern and Liverpool are the best teams on form.
Maybe in the Champions League this year. I can feel it in my bones that we will face them in the play-offs.
As a chelsea fan I hope but dread facing them in the cl, I feel that they would be our greatest challenge yet, especially if they're all healthy. Would love to see who comes out on top, but with the form they have rn, I think it would be too much even for us tbh.
@@d0gg0dud3 It would be amazing to see the best attack face the best defence. I would like to know what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force.
@@larryfitterman I actually think Chelsea is a bit better than Bayern rn. I think what ever you lack in squad quality, Tuchel makes up for it ten folds
It looks to me like he finally hit his coaching prime so to speak. He matured. Because he was always this genius, calculating everything perfectly and so competitive that that fire burned him multiple times but now you can see that he honestly developed amazing human qualities and characteristics. Because the first thing I told my friends when I saw him at Chelsea (didn't follow him much as a person prior to, only his games and results) that Tuchel seems to me like a great pedagogist and he knows how to cater to any type of player and draw the best out of them. You can see it by his comments from the start "it's my fault Ziyech is not playing often even tho he is a great player" etc. etc. He knows now how to make everyone comfortable, develop good relationships, understanding as well as making players want to kill and die on that pitch for him. We've bought a golden ticket as a club and Chelsea fans. I couldn't be more happier, this is a dream and long may it continue!
Great work ❤️ pls do more documentary’s like that
He was always a great a coach in every team he coached we literally saw a change instantly in every team.
Tuchel is a celebral type of manager with highly tactical adaptability
Have to agree with this. His substitutions are also on point
As a Chelsea fan I really felt proud when Guardiola and Klopp called him one of the best managers💙🤍💙
What else can Pep and Klopp said to fellow professional?
R.i.p for next season 🤣🤣🤣

Probably the biggest mistake Watzke and Zorc ever made at Dortmund: fire TT when he was just about to bring them even further to the top than Klopp ever did. And those Watzke „values“? I call out BS.
He's not an easy character but firing the manager that just won the Cup for them. Same goes for PSG...
What was at BVB when klopp came him? Let us talk about what klopp did with less and with them in a financial situation so what are you talking about
@@chukwumakwazu9710 It was easier for Klopp to win those league titles with Dortmund until Bayern bought all his star players. Tuchel had to rebuild Klopps legacy and tried pushing the owners to compete with Bayern instead of selling their players to them, so they fired him. Klopp stepped down bc he got fed up, they almost got relegated bc of it. Tuchel had more points per game at Dortmund and Mainz (not saying he's better or not, just putting it out there). Theyre both great managers but different.
@@chukwumakwazu9710 Nobody diminishes Klopp's achievements. So take it easy, man. All I said, was that I think it was possibly BVB's management's biggest mistake to fire Tuchel.
He wasn’t gonna take them further than Klopp did. What Klopp did there is about as far as a manager can get with a team of Dortmund’s resources.
You guys always drop top class content! Kudos to you 🔥🔥🔥
This is a legendary VIDEO
I find it amazing he speak french, german and english very well. He's a very intelligent man. 'Best coach in the world' I think jury is out on that one though.
Sure and verdict will be 'He is' Nothing to take away from other great managers in the world, Tuchel actually shows level last year or so at Chelsea. Even it took Kloop 3-4 years at Liverpool for their 6th CL while he did in 4 month. Manager of the year for a reason. Absolute genius.
@@kingarmish Klopp couldn't possibly have won the Champions League in his first year, Liverpool weren't a Champions League team. Tuchel inherited a world class squad that was being managed by a clown.
its impresive how good he speaks all three languages, he seems to be a very intelligent person
German and English is a little bit related so most Germans can speak English quite well
@@bri1085 An inexperienced coach, who shouldn't have been given the job after just one season as a champiinship coach. Frank Lampard is very far from being a clown.
I respect TT because he constantly improved himself as a football coach. He deserves to be where he is now.
Proud Chelsea fan from Kenya,thomas tuchel is the best😍
14:19 that mentality he has a curse and a gift at the same time and i feel him very well
As a Chelsea fan, I don’t get the sense of that lack of a human side to Tuchel, I think he’s done a great job of making this team a family and that is probably the difference that lead to the success in the champions league last year
Personally, I do think it's an act. He has players on their toes and a few that love him alonso, rudiger silva... No one is beyond getting benched. The fact we are winning though keeps everyone in line.
@@davidadeyemi9466 I have to disagree, the atmosphere between the players and Thomas seems to be a really positive and open dynamic, I’m sure they aren’t all best friends all the time and I’m absolutely certain Tuchel and the senior squad members dish out some bollockings where deserved but on the whole it seems like a group that has really bonded, and ultimately I think that shows on the pitch too
I think he has learnt from the PSG and past experiences. However, I can see that Tuchel can be ruthless if he wants to. He gives you a shoot but if it affects the teams performance negatively, you're off. Examples are Saul and Mount in our last 2 matches. Removed them at halftime in both cases and the team performance became better.
C'mon. He's like the Terminator. It's easy when everything is going your way. Just ask Mourinho. Lampard galvanized that team, Tuchel took it by the scruff of the neck. Those Bundesliga boys got their fingers out. And now Drogba Legacy is back (Lukaku). You gotta hand it to Roman A. Shrewd end game. Champions of Europe, brushed Pep's nonchalance away, "biting till the end"....
@@segunarosanyin1896 absolutely spot on. He is ruthlessly brilliant.
I watched his masterclass from a few years ago where he was a small coach at mainz. Brilliant minds don't get brilliant by time. They are already brilliant in the beginning and just have to adjust their decision making a bit through experience.
Wen hat er im Mainzer Training so angeschnauzt?
Even in Mainz he wasn't a "small coach"...

as im a genious on my own thats a very smart statement!
One of my favourite Manager n coach.. brilliant tactically.. he knows well how to use his players.. he knows how to maximize his youngsters.. i hope chelsea can win PL this season.. there'll be Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City this season to win the title.. Man United had a better squad than last season but still the same manager, so the same result i guess.. we'll see :)
January 2023, look at PSG and Chelsea after they sacked him 😭
As a barca fan I always loved pep and thought he was the best but when I started watching football more clearly I saw Tuchel's interviews and his performance for Chelsea and he is one of my favourites. His style of possesion play and always finding a way is what I love about his coaching
Chelsea were incredibly smart to get him. Look what he's done already? He's probably one of the best coaches in the world. I wish we could have got him at Arsenal
But the thing is he wasnt even the owners first choice..lol. He was offered interim which he rejected outrightly, then offered 18months and champions league qualification as a target. Abramovich's main target was Leipzig's Nagelsmann. He was approached in January he rejected saying he wont join mid season only if chelsea could wait till end of the season. Football and life is crazy
He would have revived aubameyang career
Chelski had ran out of ideas. They'd had every manager in Europe of any note. Tuchel or Pochettino were the only two they'd not yet had. And Big Sam. Yet.
All I can read is great difficult manager man and I'm hooked
I have a feeling that the final of UCL 2022 will be Nagelsmann's Bayern vs. Tuchel's Chelsea, two talented top German coaches with a lot of Germany national players in both squads. Looking forward to watching that exciting game.
I really hope
As a dortmund fan, I was so happy when he was our coach, the team played great football, I knew letting him go was a big mistake, Chelsea is so lucky 👏👏
Naahh he wouldnt have succeeded at dortmund, not winning the Bundesliga or CL atleest. Chelsea have far more money to buy any player due to their oligarch owner, dortmund usually sell their best players so its not the same
@@i_like_to_move_it_move_it BULLSHIT
I was in the stadium when they played against Benfica and won 4:0. 100 % control over the enemy and the ball. Best football I’ve ever seen live
@@i_like_to_move_it_move_it Lad ... At the time Tuchel was our coach we faced Bayern with Pep who were incredible. We finished runners up back to back, played fantastic footbal in most of the games and won the DFB-cup while winning the semi final in a spectacular away game against Bayern. He was a great coach and it is the biggest task you can imagine to be the successor of Jürgen Klopp as a Coach at Borussia Dortmund. And he did it in great style. All the best for Thomas Tuchel and his carreer
@@haalandistbesseralslewando6976 it is true though
BVB would have won atleast 2 Bundesliga titles had we just let him coach
its just not a good fit imo, bvb is too emotional( not a bad thing btw) just not the machination that is tuchel
To be honest to me Watzke serms to be the difficult person, not Tuchel. And Leonardo is just simply an idiot.
Why didn’t he win then shhh and stop chatting shit .
@@nem6262 exactly.. Dortmund, Liverpool..these are the clubs who are made for Coaches like Klopp
@@sygmaone Na come on Tuchel had Falling outs at Mainz and PSG. I would say both Watzke and Tuchel are difficult people that clashed Dortmund is the wrong club for a Coach like Tuchel. Chelsea seems to be the best fit for him
Loved this!
Tuchel has demonstrated something of his statesman skills. No manager has carried a club and team through such modern uncertainty as the face of the Club along with Emma Hayes, during these last 4 months. He deserves the keys to the building at Stamford Bridge. The new owners know what they have and will want him to stay as a key part of the clubs future.
No
Without doubt, real deal of a manager. Up the Chels. Blue is the color💙
Tuchel's recipe for success has proven itself. His attitude towards continued achievement only brings me more excitement for this season and all seasons ahead. Future looks bright for the blues as long as he is at the helm!!!
Wrong tuchel is just a sum of the parts if he declines we bin him and we’ll be successful with or without him the Chelsea train don’t stop this not manutd sir Alex leaves cast into the wilderness or arsenal winger leaves wilderness or even Liverpool Klopp leaves same as before Chelsea mourinho binned ancelotti found then conte binned it’s the clubs dna we don’t give a f about managers just winning and so it goes there will be life after tuchel and trust me winning will never stop no one cares about our former managers because you guessed right we keep winning
@@greekgaddafi4468 yes
These 15 minute documentaries are perfect
i am here after TT won 7-0 and he demands more,I love this guy
Chelsea's both CL titles came from managers who had just taken the job within a couple of weeks left to play, amazing.
How he speaks all the languages is incredible
I was waiting patiently for this comment.... How does he do it
How did Manu Miss this Guy
He has a different IQ
We learn English and French in school here in Germany. So if a student is serious about learning one of the languages later he will have a good basis to build on. Of course some do actually become really good during school time.
@@LievenSerge english yes but how many germans actually are good in french? maybe 5-10% i'd guess.
Great Video!
Wow love this video!
I love Tuchel honesty, his work ethics and enthusiasm. I am his disciple. I love him. He is at the right place. Abramovic wants to win 🏆 so he will love Tuchel. He will not get on his way in anyway. Hope he stays for a long time.
I am A United fan but I appreciate Tuchel's good work.
Your club won’t win anything under Ole imo
@@anilkumarsreesafety No need to rub it in. He probably knows
@@chigozieagwuncha2166 lmao... You guys are just too mean
Must be hard a a United fan to watch this guy who is now the best in the world and u have only the past to think about.
Same wish we had a manager like him
Awesome video.!
lol at the sudden change to ominous music at 5:18, reminiscent of a True Crime doc where we find out our hero may actually be an axe murderer. good video though, thank you. balanced and informative. he has either grown into a more well-rounded and mature person/manager now - watch any of his interviews at Chelsea and he seems like the nicest, most down to earth guy, when with his earlier reputation at Dortmund I was expecting someone much colder, like one of those overly intense socially awkward genius types who struggle connecting with people - or, this is just the honeymoon phase before real adversity hits and he reverts to type. hope it's the former because i like him and want him to succeed.
I think he as a person has matured and i think in chelsea , it's clear he is not just a great coach but a great man manager.
Thrilling documentary as always. Class from DW ❤️
amazing documentary
Amazing documentary! Damn! Enjoyed every bit! Subscribed now! 💎
Thanks J Lollz 🤩
This channel is criminally underrated
Only DW can pack sooo much information within 15 minutes to make it feel like 50 mins! You guys make the best documentaries in the world! 👏 👏 👏
He's more tactical and can manage low profile players(Chelsea's young players) to win Champions league unlike Guardiola that can't do with "ALL STARS"(Like Messi,Robben...&Man city stars)
Tuchel is like the love-child between Rafa Benitez and Jurgen Klopp. He's cold and tactical but also animated and passionated and breathes football, tactically and emotionally.
