Felix Magath took the biscuit by trying to heal injuries with CHEESE, Jurgen Klopp became a King of the Kop while 'Martin from Wakefield' was mistaken for one top-flight boss... the Premier League's German managers as Thomas Tuchel becomes No 6

The Germans have a long and complicated history with English football - but not as Premier League managers.

Thomas Tuchel is the latest German to test his luck in the top flight after his appointment by Chelsea this week, but you might be surprised to know he's just the sixth to work here.

We've been graced by an abundance of talented Germans on the pitch - Michael Ballack, Mesut Ozil, Jurgen Klinsmann, Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane, but that hasn't quite translated across to the dugout.

With Tuchel now in charge at Stamford Bridge following the sacking of Frank Lampard, he'll be looking to make his mark and get the best out of his fellow countrymen Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, who have struggled to adapt.
