Tuchel on Chelsea and PSG: Two teams at opposite end in style and organisation | OneFootball

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has taken a swipe at former club Paris Saint Germain.

Tuchel was infamously sacked by Paris Saint Germain on Christmas Eve last year before taking charge of Chelsea in January and leading them to the Champions League title.

Via Le 10 Sport, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “PSG and Chelsea? These are two teams that are at the opposite end in terms of style and organisation.

"In Paris, I worked more as a minister of sport than as a coach, also managing the family and friends of the stars. At Chelsea, on the other hand, I can work more calmly."

Tuchel was also asked about the differences in managing former Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea and how he handled Paris Saint Germain pair Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

He replied: "It is easier to train (Romelu) Lukaku than Neymar or (Kylian) Mbappé..."

After leading the club to a first ever Champions League final last year, Tuchel was sacked by Paris Saint Germain on Christmas Eve. He had also led Paris Saint Germain to a second consecutive Ligue Une title the previous season, adding to the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue triumphs to mark a famous Treble for the Parisians.

After their 7-0 win against Norwich City on Saturday, Tuchel's Chelsea sit clear at the top of the Premier League table.
