Thomas Tuchel is an intense and interesting guy, young enough to have been influence by the same football a lot of us grew up watching.
He’s done a long interview on the Chelsea website about what his influences as a manager have been, and in the preview clip he picks out a few big names who have had an effect on his mindset.
Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola, two coaches who have been big rivals for the Blues over the years, are both mentioned as key men in Tuchel’s development.
