In spite of his successes at Paris St. Germain, coach Thomas Tuchel is sceptical about an extension of his expiring contract. One should “not dream when under constant attack,” said the 47-year-old at “Sky” in front of the Champions League duel of last year’s finalist on Wednesday
(21:00) at RB Leipzig. “I had this naive vision for a while that the coach wouldn’t be in the line of fire for a while after four titles and a Champions League final – it took five days,” said the former Dortmund and Mainz coaches.
Despite this, Tuchel added: “Obviously, we can’t make it right for everyone. So we focus on working with the team and creating the conditions for success. This works thanks to a good relationship with the team and the employees.” You have to “know how to put on blinders”.
Tuchel has been coach of Paris St. Germain since 2018. He won six titles with the club, including the 2019 and 2020 French championships. Born in Krumbach, Paris reached the final of the Champions League for the first time last August, but lost Bavaria Munich 0-1. Tuchel has repeatedly crossed paths with PSG sports director Leonardo over the past two years.
