Thomas Tuchel
The German manager caught the eyes of many onlookers with his Dortmund side. Klopp is definitely a hard manager to replace and having replaced him at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, Tuchel is certainly no muck.
The German tactician has officially left Borussia Dortmund having fallen out with the powers at be, leaving them after a relatively successful season with the club, leading them to a 3rd place finish in the Bundesliga, helping them to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and also leading them to victory in the DfB Pokal final.
Tuchel was brilliant at Mainz and continued the same trend at Dortmund, developing young players and instilling them into the first-team setup. He’s a superb man manager and clearly has an excellent coaching nous about him. This element of player development is something that Saints have endorsed for years now, and something that would ultimately attract them. Therefore he would make a very great choice for The Saints and although it’s a very astonishing link, it’s a plausible one, with Southampton needing some top quality.
