‘I thought Tuchel had lost his marbles’ – Methods of 'special' new Chelsea boss saluted by Mainz coach Svensson

The current boss of the German's old club has previously played under a highly-rated coach and considers him to have qualities that few others possess

Thomas Tuchel is a “special coach”, says Bo Svensson, although the Mainz manager concedes that he thought the new Chelsea boss had once “lost his marbles” during a memorable meeting with Bayern Munich.

The highly-rated German has just opened up a new chapter in what has already been a productive career in the dugout.

Having followed in the footsteps of Jurgen Klopp at Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, a fresh start has been made at Stamford Bridge after severing ties with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
