JAKARTA - Thomas Tuchel was most likely chosen as Chelsea's new coach after the Premier League club fired Frank Lampard. Tuchel is expected to unleash all the potential that Chelsea's brightest talents have.

The 47-year-old German coach is known for his complicated personality, is skilled at building team unity and has a vision and methodical thinking in approaching football.

The coach who was sacked by Paris St-Germain at the end of December last year after falling out with sporting director Leonardo did not succeed in bringing out the best of his star-studded squad, but PSG still qualified for the Champions League final in August last year and won successive league titles.

Quoting the BBC , his track record is quite good in the eyes of Chelsea management who contacted him moments before sacking Lampard.

Tuchel, reportedly initially unsure if he should take up the assignment in mid-season, considered the stint at Stamford Bridge as an opportunity to prove his quality in England as shown by Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, both of whom he respects.
