2. He loves to be in control
Tuchel has been known for getting involved in aspects of the club that don’t fall under his purview. He was unhappy with Borussia Dortmund’s scouting department and wanted an overhaul, leading to friction with head scout Sven Mislintat.
The 47-year-old’s desire for control has got him into trouble at his last two clubs. Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc and CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke have been critical of Tuchel following his departure from the Bundesliga side three and a half years ago. The manager’s falling out with PSG director Leonardo also led to his sacking last month. It remains to be seen how he copes with the notorious Marina Granovskaia.
