“My philosophy is an aesthetic one; aesthetic means to control the ball, the rhythm to attack in every minute, and to try and score as many goals as possible.”
The managerial style and persona of Thomas Tuchel. 🇩🇪

“My philosophy is an aesthetic one; aesthetic means to control the ball, the rhythm to attack in every minute, and to try and score as many goals as possible.”
Essentially, he epitomises the post-modern manager.
Thomas Tuchel takes this to even bigger heights. Engrossed on the desire to have multiple formations and systems, it’s almost as if he’s managing a video game.
The core aims of Tuchel - a fusion of Klopp and Guardiola - include preventing the opposition from playing through the Gegenpress and attempting to dominate at any given time.
Alternatively, he looks at the higher areas of the pitch, wins back possession, and zip the ball around with super technicality.
The so-called “water carriers” required nimbleness of the game, specifically the likes of Herrera and Gueye at his previous club, PSG.
At Borrusia Dortmund, he had fellow Germans, Julian Weigl and Ilkay Gündogan. At PSG, he had similar profiles, Marco Veratti and Leandro Paredes.
He’s a firm believer in his player’s ability to solve problems, within pressure situations. It endorses the challenge to constantly stretch his players.
Players train on slippery surfaces, very narrow and very wide pitches - which are presented with brain teasers, such as stabilising the ball with their knees.
Mini-sized footballs were implemented, to increase the player’s ball control. Additionally, rucking shields were also used, to improve his player’s physicality and strength.
He’s a perfectionist. He wants power. He has ambition, but his lack of alignment with the club’s hierarchy has been evident.
In his full unveiling to the Chelsea faithful, Tuchel said: “It is about winning. The DNA of the club is to win and go for trophies. I am here to challenge for every trophy.” Ambitious.
His transparency with his players is top-tier. Handles the media, extremely well - equipped with that confidence and enthusiasm to be here. It’s refreshing.
