Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel reveals what he learned from Pep Guardiola

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has claimed that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has had a big influence on him as a coach as he is ready for the new chapter of their rivalry. Tuchel was still in charge of Mainz, a traditionally mid-table club in Bundesliga, when Guardiola first arrived at Bayern Munich in 2013. However, then the German coach was appointed as the Borussia Dortmund boss ahead of the 2015/16 season. Bayern won the title, unsurprisingly, but Dortmund still came second after their seventh-place finish the season before Tuchel’s arrival. And now both world class managers will meet again and this time in the Premier League. Speaking to Chelsea TV (via 5th stand app), Tuchel said: “[Pep’s Barcelona team] taught me everything about this game, that you can play nice [football] and you can win everything. “[Also that] you can attack and still be intense in defending; that you can do it with the guys from the academy, and so on. “Pep [has been] a big, big influence until today. “I have the feeling that every time I watch a game from him, I can learn something about football and I can learn something new. “[It is] now a big challenge to be in the same league again and to compete again at the same level.” Manchester City and Chelsea are scheduled to meet on May 8 at the Etihad Stadium.
