A few hours after the elimination of PSG by Bayern Munich, Christophe Galtier could lose his place in favor of the German.
What if Thomas Tuchel came back through the front door? After the very early elimination of PSG in the round of 16 of the Champions League, the days and even the hours of Christophe Galtier at the head of PSG are numbered. According to the Spanish media Revelo, a crisis meeting between the president of PSG Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Christophe Galtier will be organized this Thursday, March 9 to discuss the future of the French technician.
If the president of PSG had shown his confidence in the coach, if Christophe Galtier explained that he did not feel threatened … The name of Thomas Tuchel has been coming up very regularly for several weeks. RMC Sport has already mentioned it last February, explaining that with the departure of Leonardo, the name of the German was once again circulating behind the scenes at the club. As a reminder, since his shelving, Thomas Tuchel notably won the Champions League with the Chelsea Blues before being brutally fired by the London club in September 2022, the day after a defeat against Dinamo Zagreb. A choice that had also “devastated” as he explained at the time on social networks.
BioThomas Tuchel. Thomas Tuchel was born on August 29, 1973 in Krumbach, located in the state of Bavaria in Germany. He is a former professional football player who made a name for himself mainly through his coaching career. His playing career was cut short due to a chronic injury. As a coach, he went through the PSG box for two years which ended in dismissal at the end of 2020. He quickly rebounded with the Chelsea Blues with whom he won the supreme European title, the League champions in May 2021. The second season is more difficult and he is finally dismissed in September 2022 by Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel was born on August 29, 1973 in German Bavaria. The year 2023 will therefore be synonymous with a milestone for the German coach who will celebrate his 50th birthday.
As a football player, Thomas Tuchel has not won anything. It must be said that his career was very short because of a chronic injury. On the other hand, the German has made a name for himself thanks to his coaching career. In fact, his record grew very quickly upon his arrival in Dortmund. He started the season with eleven consecutive successes and became the first manager in the history of the German club to achieve this feat. He won his first coaching title with a victory in the German Cup in 2017. Then came his time with PSG where the German coach won six trophies including two French Champions titles, a League Cup , a Coupe de France and two Champions Trophies. With Chelsea, he entered another dimension by winning a historic treble by winning the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup in 2021. He also received four individual distinctions. That of the best coach of the Bundesliga in 2016, that of German coach of the year 2016, best coach of Ligue 1 in 2019 and best coach of the year UEFA in 2021.
Thomas Tuchel is married to a woman named Sissi. They are parents of two little girls. According to German media, when Thomas Tuchel arrived at PSG, it was his wife who took all the steps to find accommodation as well as the school for their two daughters.
Thomas Tuchel began his coaching career on the bench of Stuttgart with young people in 2000. He therefore began his role as coach at the age of 27. In 2007 he changed scenery and joined Augsburg after having been trained there as a player. He coached the under-19s but it was in Mainz that he really revealed himself by winning the German under-19 championship in 2009. It was this same year that he made his debut with the club first team. He finished tenth in his first season before qualifying the club for the third preliminary round of the Europa League the following season. After two more complicated seasons, Tuchel wants to leave the club and takes a sabbatical year before joining Dortmund. With the Yellows and Blacks, Thomas Tuchel performed well during the first season and finished second in the Bundesliga behind the Bavarian ogre. The second season is more complicated with repeated conflicts with the leaders. The German coach left the Ruhr and joined PSG where he won six trophies. But there too the story ends badly with a conflict with the sporting director Leonardo. The German coach was sacked at the end of 2020 but bounced back very quickly with Chelsea where he still trains. In London, Thomas Tuchel wins the Champions League and is disillusioned with the lost final with PSG a year earlier. He added a European Super Cup and a Club World Cup before being sacked the following year in September 2022.
