Tuchel Voted Germany Manager Of The Year

Tuchel Voted Germany Manager Of The Year

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been voted as Germany’s manager of the year.

The 47-year-old took over the Blues in January this year, replacing Frank Lampard, and led the club to their second UEFA Champions League trophy with victory over Manchester City in Porto on May 29.

The triumph represented a remarkable upturn in fortunes for Tuchel, who was sacked by Paris Saint Germain barely a month before being appointed Chelsea manager.

Tuchel also led Chelsea to the FA Cup final but lost out to Leicester City. He however secured a fourth place finish for the Stamford Bridge outfit in the Premier League.

Tuchel saw off competition from Hansi Flick and Edin Terzic, who have since left Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund respectively, to claim the honour.

‘I accept the award very gratefully as a great honour for the entire team because I see myself as a team player,’ Tuchel told the Kicker Magazine on receiving the award.

‘I don’t believe in individual awards too much, I truly believe it is a team effort, not only the players on the pitch everybody loves, but the team behind the team. I don’t do this alone. I do it with my staff, not only my German and Hungarian staff but all the people at Cobham. It’s incredible to be part of because there we have an incredible amount of quality and support.

‘Football teams can win without the coaches, but coaches cannot win without the team. It’s a reward for the team and what we did, and now let’s get on.’
