Tuchel: again through the back door

Thomas Tuchel belongs to the European elite of coaches, go ahead. His results in Mainz led him to Borussia Dortmund and his work at Signal Iduna Park made him captain one of the most turbulent ships of the moment, that of PSG. With the first, now penultimate in the Bundesliga, he reached the Europa League; with the set borusser achieved a Pokal (2017) and an average of points (2.09) higher than that of Jürgen Klopp (1.91); While with the Parisians, until his dismissal, he won everything at the national level and managed to reach the last Champions League final against Bayern. However, If sporting successes are a common denominator, his farewell to the three teams has been marked by controversy and the disagreements with the directive.

His stay in Paris has been marked by his character tightrope walker. Doubts about the team's game have been a constant, but the sporting results have been its greatest guarantee. Until this season Leonardo pulled the trigger on Christmas Eve, although it was not made official until days later. It is surprising, however, that the dismissal came after winning 4-0 at Strasbourg and having managed to survive in the Champions League, despite having had a foot and a half in the Europa League for much of the group stage. Whenever the final match appeared, Tuchel managed to save his neck and it seems that the cause of the dismissal was an interview that filled the glass of the Brazilian sports director's patience. The Tuchel-Leonardo war has starred in Parisian news almost as much as Real Madrid's desire to take over Mbappé and, finally, the manager's desire has prevailed.

Mainz and Dortmund, abrupt starts

As the newspaper remembers Bild, Tuchel's marches from his previous teams were not without controversy. In Mainz it was he himself who made the decision to leave of the club in the 2013-14 season, with the team having achieved seventh league place and established itself as an aspiring team for the noble part of the Bundesliga. Christian Heidel, sports director of the entity, was surprised by the decision, since he still had a year of contract left at the time of communicating the decision.

After a year without training, the one from Krumbach would join Borussia Dortmund, not without first enduring the irony of his exes. As it points Bild, in the frame borusser won critical acclaim, but not so from Hans-Joachim Watzke, sports director of the club. Despite winning the Cup, breaking a five-year drought without titles, Dortmund would fire their coach and compensate him 2.9 million euros for it. The reasons published from Germany were the bad relationship between Watzke and Tuchel, which lived its culmination after the bomb attack suffered by the Germans in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2017. The public handling of the situation definitively confronted both and the sporting results managed to calm the waters. Situation similar to that experienced with Leonardo, on the other hand. The team that takes Thomas Tuchel will sign results, but it may also be controversial.
