Tuchel is well-known for his tactical acumen and versatility, as well as his use of cutting-edge training methods.
Tuchel employed rondos, took the corners off the training pitch to increase passing and movement, and had his players hold tennis balls during defensive exercises to reduce excessive fouling during his stay at Mainz.
As a meticulous analyzer, he once halted a documentary on Pep Guardiola on the Mainz bus for two hours to examine a graph depicting Barcelona’s passing patterns.
He also spent four hours in Munich discussing strategies with Guardiola. Tuchel has taken training methods from various sports, including archery and kickboxing; he also forced the players to spend nearly a month practicing with a handball team.
