How do you go from barman to Bundesliga coach in just nine years? Just ask Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, who spent the best part of a decade honing his craft on the touchline with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, before reaching consecutive UEFA Champions League finals with Paris Saint-Germain and the Blues.
A defender by trade, Tuchel joined the Augsburg youth academy as a teenager but was released at the age of 19 without ever making the first team. He subsequently had a short-lived spell with the Stuttgarter Kickers in Bundesliga 2, making eight outings at that level, before joining third-tier outfit SSV Ulm.
