Publisher's Synopsis
When Thomas Tuchel arrived at Chelsea in January 2021, few could imagine that a mere four months later he would be leading the club to victory in the UEFA Champions League final. Having inherited a misfiring team, he quickly remoulded them in his image, combining a spectacular attacking style of play with brilliant tactical thinking. But who is Thomas Tuchel? Fans of his former clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund would tell you he is one of the best football managers in the world. Innovator, tactician, superlative motivator and, sometimes, controversialist, Tuchel knows how to develop young players but also how to manage a dressing room full of superstars such as Neymar and Mbappé; and now Mount, Havertz and Werner. This is the story of Thomas Tuchel and his footballing genius: from his beginnings as a football manager in Mainz to his successful stint at Dortmund.
