Few could have predicted that just four months after being unceremoniously sacked by PSG, Thomas Tuchel would be guiding Chelsea to victory in the UEFA Champions League final when he arrived at the club in January 2021. Tuchel inherited a struggling Chelsea team that he swiftly energized with his dynamic attacking style and exceptional tactical intelligence.

Fans of his previous clubs, PSG, Borussia Dortmund, and Mainz would describe him as one of the finest football managers in the world. An innovator, tactician, rulebreaker, and sometimes controversialist, Tuchel went from a youth manager with Mainz to the top of the Bundesliga with Dortmund in just five years. He has identified and nurtured rising talents, such as André Schürrle and Christian Pulisic, and has also managed dressing rooms full of superstars, including Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.

This is the definitive story of Thomas Tuchel: from his early days as an academy player at Augsburg and as a young manager at Mainz, to his successful but conflict-laden stint at Dortmund, his bittersweet tenure at PSG, and finally his arrival mid-season at Chelsea. Compelling and revealing, Thomas Tuchel: Rulebreaker provides a fascinating insight into the life and mind of one of the most exciting coaching talents in football today.
