This quote by Tuchel especially the bolded parts, epitomizes why he was able to come in, get his ideas across, and get his team performing at such a high level so quickly. And it's paid off big time.
Chelsea appoint Thomas Tuchel

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
While I'm sure they will, up until today Chelsea hasn't renewed his contract, even when he achieved top 4, reached a FA cup final and was in a UCL final.
Us? We gave Ole a new contract because he beat PSG in the round of 16.
That's the difference between the standards.

Watch him get the sack in 6 months.
I like you.
Can we poach him then
It's funny how things work.
Both Man Utd and Chelsea were in a similar situation and took different approaches.
One decided to sack their manager to hire one more capable of winning trophies and won the champions league in the same season, the other kept the manager and lost the Europe League.

False equivalence. This season, Man United were not doing nearly as poorly as Chelsea were under Lampard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Chelsea sacked Lampard United might have been top of the league, no?
So yeah, false equivalence. You don't sack your coach when you're top of the league. Neither when your second to this City.
Shows they know shit.
Risk paid off. Fair enough to Chelsea and as I already wrote in this thread, got a feeling it could’ve been us. Then again, we didn’t took that risk also because we’re sentimental over Sir Alex and still hoping for his second coming. That’s what makes us Man United and proud, since Chelsea after all are a plastic club with much less of a history. It’s also what makes us less objective and negatively impacts our decisions.
Watching his interviews, his attitude is top notch every time. Very charismatic personality, no wonder the (non-diva) players fight for him.
I am no fan of Chelsea, but there is something very satisfying about watching Tuchel beat an oil/state backed team like City to the Champions League after being turfed out of another such club in PSG when the biggest crime he committed was losing in a Champions League Final.
Congrats to Chelsea, they have built a cut-throat culture where mediocrity will not be tolerated. Lampard was the sentimental choice, but Chelsea was brave to get rid and try a different manager.
It's amazing they've reached the CL 3 times with managers that took over mid-season.... Grant, Di Matteo and Tuchel.
We've been mocking their culture of chopping and changing, but it's undeniable that since Roman took over they are England's most successful club - 2 CL, 5 PL times, 5 FA Cups.

If they “trust the process” this would not have happened. Just saying.
I’m so jealous. It’s vital for us to get a proper manager in soon. We deserve nights like this.

If Roman ran United Ole would have been sacked after Burnley no doubt. We just don’t have their ambition. They are ruthless. Im jealous.
Facts
didn’t realise it was possible for managers to work with and improve what they already have… I genuinely thought you could only progress and win things by signing a RW for £120m, and having 9 transfer windows
Incredible achievement and impact by Tuchel. Very envious of Chelsea appointing a top manager to replace lampard like that. Just leave Sancho alone will ya?
I don't even know why tf we are linked with him. We need a 9. It's clear as day.
Let's just leave it like that despite the CL win. Don't go crazy now Roman.
But seriously one has to respect the winning culture at Chelsea. Everyone thought you had lost that edge with lampard being appointed and seemingly being afforded patience but the club quickly switched gears and the rewards are clear. Tuchel has been brilliant.
Hes been fantastic. Like I've posted on here MULTIPLE TIMES after defeats we've had under him or draws there's an obvious problem and it's not him or his tactics it's the guys up front missing chance after chance after chance. Even today but thank god it didn't cost us.
So true..Yep totally agree. The set up and buildup play has always looked quality under Tuchel especially retention of the ball and off the ball quality. That's the key. Players will get better or worse, stay or go etc but as long as the system does well the coach is doing a great job behind the scenes.
Not hipster enough. Don't want.
This whole thing comparing him with Di Mateo, lets say he gets a sack in 6 months, so what? Its not about those managers, they will have a CL to their names but whats more important is that CL is added to other throphies in Chelsea history.
Tuchel left PSG due to problems with the board, not because of football results.
Poch already wants out cause of the hierarchy or lack there of.
PSG are a mess, but Chelsea are ruthless. If he starts next season poorly he could be unemployed by Christmas. Roman ain’t got time for failure.
We all know that. It's Chelsea at the end of the day.
I'm just saying he didn't leave because of the CL final loss. His relationship with the board was bad and as @Pow said, most reports already say Poch have similar problems with them.
I haven't noticed CharleneFan having a dig tonight, we must have won.....
Not so sure now that we’ve won the CL. That’ll buy him at least the whole of next season. Had we failed to finish in the top 4 and lost today he’d be on sack watch by Christmas next season.
Anyway, I’m extremely curious what we’ll do in the window. Giroud will go and Tuchel clearly doesn’t fancy Tammy at all. So a striker WILL be brought in. If we can somehow dump a truck full of money on Dortmund’s doorstep and get Haaland we could be some team. Excited to see what Tuchel’s ideas are once he gets a couple of “his” players in.
If you get Haaland I think you’ll push City all the way next season. I’ve got a soft spot for Giroud, I wanted him at United back when Arsenal were letting him go. I think he could still do a job for you. Never seen much in Tammy, looks a midtable striker to me.
I don’t like him. Don’t like the football he plays. I also don’t like many of Chelsea’s players.
Together they have a way of not losing.
Tuchel deserves huge praise for the results he’s got, from the state they were in when he joined to CL winners is amazing. But I still don’t like his style.

If squad strenght is 100.
Saf would multiply it by 115%
Tuchel would multiply it by 90%
Ole probably around 75%
The higher the number the better. Our squad is performing way bellow what they're capable off.

Now that's just cruel
He surely need to develop a system to win with more attackers on the pitch. I read it somewhere that 3 at the back system he decided to employ on Chelsea playing squad was on the way to London after deep discussion with his support staffs.
Because it suited the squad more in his vision about being defensively solid at that time was more important than his preferred attacking 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1 or 4-2-4.
He certainly like a mobile striker rather than big lump who can't able to control the ball. Want to put more important to team effort than solo super stars.
Chelsea are lucky to stumble upon tactically sound manager who also want to take pride in improving players. Hope marina back him in transfer market just for his contribution to give club 150 mn by winning it and qualified for next season.

Didn't he fall out with Leonardo, apparently Poch doesn't get along with him either. Maybe it would have been easier to get rid of your DOF.
Think they had just got rid of their previous DoF, Antero whathisname, who by all accounts got along even worse with everyone..
Nah, domination is real now. Broadly speaking football tactics have been evolving in germany for the last half decade, their best coaches are naturally ahead of the competition, and it's also why they have more good to great coaches than anyone else...
Do they want Ole, he gets on with everybody.
