Tuchel had a glorious 5 year stint with Mainz 05 before switching to Dortmund. He signed for German club in 2009. It was the clubs first season in Bundesliga after being relegated to 2 Bundesliga in 2006.

Would Tuchel be the man for Arsenal
[spacer height=”30px”]

There is never any doubt in his ability to manage a side judging by what he has done in the past. But it would really be difficult to see someone else in the role that Wenger has perfected over the years.[spacer height=”30px”]

The German tactician brings in a different strategy of playing that arsenal fans and players had been longing for the years. Tuchel is someone who has a keen eye on the opposition and their strategies and plays the tune according to them. Infact he has perfected so many formations all according to how his opposition hates to play against, during his years of success. He has played the 4–1-4-1,  4–1-3-2,  3–3-2-2 all while exploiting the weakness of his oppositions. He surprisingly deployed the young Julian Weigel with precision in the central midfield creating space out-wide for the pacy attacks developed from the wings.[spacer height=”30px”]

The likes of Aubemayeng and Mhitrayan would love to be reunited wit h their boss. And with additional talents of Ozil, Lacazette and many more at his exploits. It would be a treat to watch arsenal under Tuchel given they they are both kind of best suited for each other.[spacer height=”30px”]

Tuchel mastered Counter pressing and Positional Play during his German days at Mainz and Dortmund. Infact he attributes his style of pressing to Guardiola rather than Klopp. Guardiola being impressed during his constant duels with his Dortmund counterpart even suggested Tuchel to be his successor at Bayern.[spacer height=”30px”]
