German coach Thomas Thomas Tuchel responded to his consideration from Paris Saint-Germain in the best way, by leading Chelsea to his second title in the Champions League by winning, yesterday, Saturday, his local opponent, the Premier League champion Manchester City 1-0 in the final match at the stadium « Dragao” in Porto.
In the normal course of things, a coach who leads a team to the Champions League final for the first time in its history should be rewarded, but this fact did not apply to Tuchel, who was "rewarded" by being sacked from his position at Saint-Germain despite the achievement of his leadership to the title match.
Saint-Germain's dream of becoming the second French team to win the title of the continental competition after Marseille in 1993 evaporated, when it collided last year with the German giant Bayern Munich, who was crowned champion by winning the Lisbon "bubble" final with a single goal.
Tochel paid the price for the ambition of the Paris Saint-Germain administration and his problems with the sporting director of the former Brazilian star Leonardo, and he was dismissed from his position despite leading the Parisian battalion to the League, Cup and League Cup and reaching the Champions League final.
The result was that the club's management resorted to Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who failed after the team ceded the local league title and bid farewell to the Champions League semi-finals at the hands of Manchester City.
Now, Tuchel got his chance to send a message of "revenge" to the management of the capital's club by granting Chelsea its second title in the Champions League after overtaking the Spanish giants Real Madrid in the semi-finals, the record holder for the number of titles (13).
"It's the most important match in Europe, it's an exceptional final and we won," Tuchel told Radio Monte Carlo after the award. It's incredible. I am very proud but I was proud already because I have complete confidence in this group, it is a very strong group.”
This season, Chelsea lived the same scenario that it experienced in its first coronation in 2012, when Italian Roberto Di Matteo took over the task of supervising it after the mid-season, succeeding Portuguese Andre Villas-Boas, and led him to achieve the dream of the continental title.
As then, Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich's bet on Tuchel was in place, even at the expense of London club icon Frank Lampard, who was sacked in January due to his failure to cash in on a £220m ($305m) spending spree on new players. last summer.
This investment was good, led by Tuchel, as Chelsea beat Real Madrid 2-0 in the second leg of the prestigious continental competition, to restore the German's reputation as one of the best coaches in Europe quickly, specifically after less than four months in his new position in West London.
