Yep, I started rating Tuchel myself only after seeing Bosz and Stoeger in action. To win a German cup and make Dortmund play that well, I'd rate him. But the way his side lost so naively to Klopp's Liverpool in the EL rankles for me.
That is the only concern I have with Tuchel, his authoritative approach was actually a problem with the Dortmund hierarchy and ultimately lead to his sacking (along with him falling out with some senior, underperforming, players). I said in another thread that it would be better for PSG to sell Neymar since he seems a bad influence in the dressing room with his 'bigger than the club' mentality, they can use that money to improve the squad and can also help build a better team ethic.
I'd actually think Ancellotti would be a better fit, seeing that he has experience handling huge stars in his career at Milan, Chelsea and Madrid. And the fact that he is a cup specialist helps too. I'm sure PSG will have no problems winning the league again, so his track record in cup competitions would be handy in the UCL.
They already had Ancelotti. He also failed to win the league during one season and they didn’t do anything of note in the champions league.
If I remember correctly he already managed them and couldn't take them far in the UCL then as well, plus his reputation may have taken a hit after his disastrous season with Bayern.
Must have been one hell of an un-memorable spell.Well in his first season under Dortmund he lost the domestic cup final to Bayern on penalties and in his second and last he knocked them out on the way to winning it, so its not like he hasn't beaten them before
It was memorable, he kind of built the team and was doing fairly well at the exception of the first 6 months where Kombouaré was sacked at the end of December while sitting first, the team subsequently lost the title to Montpellier.
What a brain fart. Completely forgotten about his stint in PSG.
Irrelevant. Domestic cup and CL are 2 completely different competitions.
And that's where you are mistaken. It's very important for the owners that the team play good football, it's also very important for the fans. IIRC, under Ancelotti there was a rumour that the owner was upset because people said that the team was boring.
Arrigo Sacchi is also available.
This is a doomed appointment if I ever did see one. I'd be surprised if he lasted the season. He'll be at Bayern for the start of the 2019/2020 season.
I think he's their first choice after Pep.
PSG's squad is sooo much better and deeper than any other French teams, that even the most cynical catenaccio exponent would have them winning games comfortably. Qatar wants to win a CL before the Emirati's in Manchester do. It's all PR on a geopolitical scale.
I don't understand what you fail to understand. The PR is supposed to sell excitement and shed a positive light on Qatar, they don't want to win for the sake of winning, they don't give a damn about that. They want to win with style, the style component is crucial in that publicity, they are not like the other big clubs who wants to be associated with success in order to bring money, they want to be associated with excitement. If you play cattenaccio you will be sacked within days.
What makes you say that? I reckon Tuchel will allow some players (like Neymar) some privileges as long as they perform (like he did with Aubameyang) and win the rest of the squad over when they see that his football and his instructions work out well for them.
That's not true at all. I think few if any doubt his ability, it's his personality that caused problerms at Mainz and Dortmund.
And that's why he'll be out of a job before the end of the season.
Not really, the divide is a fact and it comes El Khelaifi who has his favorites. On that point, Ancelotti, Blanc, Tuchel and Emery are in the exact same boat. Also it's Henrique's job to fix these things and control the locker room.
It's not that hard.But I feel that no matter how much I explain to you you won't get it (or accept it) so let's just leave itat that.
PSG are building a brand. The image is as important to them as anything and they want to be considered in the bracket of the Spanish giants. The way they play and more importantly, the way they are perceived is as important to them as winning. Whether you think that's daft or not is another question but that's how a lot of these big clubs think nowadays.
You are explaining nothing. You just decided to ignore a crucial part of the owner's wishes, for a reason that you really couldn't explain even if you tried. The situation is simple, they want to win with style and they won't compromise.
Funny enough you could argue the guys he had no problems with were the (super)stars and difficult/extravagant characters like Reus, Dembele, Aubameyang or Mkhitaryan. His downfall was that he identified the CEO´s favourite pets as being washed up rats (Schmelzer/Sahin). 12 months later everything Tuchel thought about their footballing quality and character was proven correct. Probably like most coaches he plays nice with the best players and the best talents, and he can´t spend 24/7 cuddling fringe players he thinks cannot help advance the team and should be sold.
