All you need to know about Thomas Tuchel
Coaching Career
Tuchel began his coaching career in 2000, hired by Ralf Rangnick as youth team coach at VfB Stuttgart, where he aided in the development of future first team players, namely Mario Gómez and Holger Badstuber.
He coached the under-19 side to their Bundesliga title in the 2004–05 campaign.
He left after that season, as the club tired of his personality and chose not to renew his contract.
In 2005, Tuchel returned to Augsburg, with club sporting director Andreas Rettig noting the club’s admiration of Tuchel’s tactical discipline led to him being appointed youth team coordinator.
He was hired despite lacking a UEFA Pro Licence, which he gained in a six-and-a-half month course in Cologne under Erich Rutemöller.
Tuchel held the position as coordinator for three years, transitioning into management after accepting the position as first team coach at FC Augsburg II for the 2007–08 season.
The 49-year-old gradually established himself as one of the best coaches in the world with impressive stints at Mainz, Dortmund, Paris Saint German and Chelsea.
