The managerial style and persona of Thomas Tuchel. 🇩🇪

[Thread]

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.”

If there is to be a defining and key element to Tuchel’s style and philosophy, it has to be his willingness and ability to shift and alter his setup - varying on matter of opposition that his side will face.

Essentially, he epitomises the post-modern manager.

Pep Guardiola is a prime example of a manager hell-bent on positional shifting and versatility in this side.

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 need for control is another part of the game that can be attributed to Tuchel’s style.

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.
