There is no doubting Thomas Tuchel’s ability as a tactician, player developer and motivatior.

However, the German has fallen out with people at almost every club he has managed at.

He has an intense personality which can both win over a dressing room and supporters but ultimately also prove his downfall while managing his bosses.

At Mainz, Tuchel was an overwhelming success but he left in fraught circumstances for Borussia Dortmund, where he similarly exited after conflict.

It was a similar story at Paris Saint-Germain where Tuchel was unhappy with some of the transfer decisions at the club, including the decision to allow Thiago Silva to leave and go to Chelsea, where he soon reunited with the defender.

It was a love story for Tuchel at Chelsea under Roman Abramovich’s team of executives, which included legendary goalkeeper Petr Cech, but in trying to help an inexperienced interim sporting director in new owner Todd Boehly in 2022 – a rift grew over strategy and his inability to focus on coaching the team amid his need for guidance on transfers.

And in February, Tuchel left German giants Bayern due to a planned “sporting realignment”.

There will likely be questions asked today, as he takes the most important post in English football, whether he buck the trend and keep his bosses at the FA happier than he perhaps did in his club roles?
