The biggest challenge, however, is the former coach of Borussia Dortmund. To be presented at the beginning of his engagement in Paris, the 45-Year-old is different than to experiencing many of his BVB-times had. After winning the Supercup Tuchel grabbed the microphone and began to sing the Song Happy by Pharell Williams. PSG experienced a new Tuchel – a ausgelasseneren, less serious and distant.
