Thomas Tuchel Rulebreaker

When Thomas Tuchel arrived at Chelsea in January 2021, having been unceremoniously sacked by PSG, few could imagine that a mere four months later he would be leading the Blues to victory in the UEFA Champions League final. Tuchel inherited a misfiring Chelsea side that he quickly galvanised with his exciting attacking style and brilliant tactical thinking.
But who is Thomas Tuchel? Fans of his former clubs PSG, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz would describe him as one of the best football managers in the world. An innovator, tactician, rulebreaker and sometimes controversialist, Tuchel went from a youth manager with Mainz to the top of the Bundesliga with Dortmund in just five years. He has identified and nurtured rising talents, such as André Schürrle and Christian Pulisic, and has also managed dressing rooms full of superstars, including Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
This is the definitive story of Thomas Tuchel: from his early days as an academy player at Augsburg and as a young manager at Mainz, to his successful but conflict-laden stint at Dortmund, his bittersweet tenure at PSG and finally his arrival mid-season at Chelsea. Compelling and revealing, Thomas Tuchel: Rulebreaker provides a fascinating insight into the life and mind of one of the most exciting coaching talents in football today.

    Tuchel also met up with people like Matthew Benham. At the time, the betting company owner was trying to get his club Brentford FC promoted to the Premier League and had started investing in FC Midtjylland in Denmark as a majority owner. To improve his teams he relied primarily on the knowledge used in creating betting odds. ‘Numbers are the holy grail for me,’ Benham once said. Such an objective and analytical approach made it possible to work out how to achieve the optimum performance from teams. Benham estimated that the performance enhancement potential available in the optimal use of data was 5 per cent. In competitive sports, such an improvement would be a quantum leap.

    Steffan Görsdorf of the Potsdam Institute for Match Analysis explains that in important games Tuchel has sometimes made mistakes that don’t fit his usual approach – mistakes that are out of character and unexpected, like the Ginter substitution before Liverpool’s corner. Görsdorf describes this as a ‘certain constant in Tuchel’s career so far’. Time and again, he says, the coach has had the tendency to act against his instincts in important games. At PSG, after a first-leg win against Manchester United at Old Trafford, he did something similar when he took an unusually defensive approach in the second leg of the Champions League round of sixteen tie.

    The decision to join PSG rather than Chelsea, where Tuchel was also said to have been a potential candidate to take over as coach in 2018, was, according to many in the industry, also motivated by the desire to distance himself from Klopp – at least at that point in time.
