Who is Thomas Tuchel? New Chelsea manager's record at PSG and Dortmund

Thomas Tuchel is set to replace Frank Lampard as Chelsea manager after Roman Abramovich made the "difficult decision" to sack the Blues legend following a disappointing run of form.

The German head coach will be the 13th different boss at Stamford Bridge since the Russian billionaire took over the Premier League club in 2003 and only time will tell if he is an unlucky or lucky number.

He will join Chelsea after a short period of unemployment, having been relieved of his duties at Paris Saint-Germain just before the new year.
