Tuchel's Rise

Thomas Tuchel, 52, has risen from being a barman in Stuttgart to a key figure in English football. The England team is in Manhattan for their World Cup match against Panama. Tuchel's career took a turn when Ralf Rangnick, his former coach, called him to work in the youth department of VfB Stuttgart.

Tuchel worked as a barman to pay his rent while studying marketing in Stuttgart. He started by collecting empty glasses and eventually served cocktails to customers.

Tuchel's big break came when Rangnick offered him a job in the youth department of VfB Stuttgart. He became the head coach of the U15 team at 26.

Tuchel's managerial career has been marked by his tactical genius, but also his complicated personality. He has been praised by Pep Guardiola, who has deep respect for Tuchel's knowledge of the game.

Tuchel's time at Chelsea was marked by controversy, including his role in the club's failed pursuit of Jules Koundé. He was eventually sacked by Todd Boehly, who reportedly spoke to Romelu Lukaku about Tuchel's management style.

Tuchel's relationship with Jude Bellingham has been a subject of interest, with some questioning his man-management skills. Despite this, Tuchel remains a respected figure in the football world, with many believing in his abilities as a coach.
