Career
Tuchel"s youth club was Turn- und Sportverein Krumbach. In 1988, he moved to nearby Football Club Augsburg (then fourth-tier Bundesliga). He then got the opportunity to play in the 2.
Bundesliga for Württemberg side Stuttgarter Kickers from 1992.
He played in only eight matches in 1992-1993, and, after an even more disappointing 1993-1994 season, when he was dropped from Kickers first team, he joined Regionalliga Süd, a third-tier side SSV Ulm, where he played in 69 matches for the Swabian side in four years before ending his active career due to a chronic cartilage injury in 1998. Early career
Tuchel began his coaching career in 2000 as head coach of the Under 19 of VfB Stuttgart.
After five years he returned to his former club Football Club Augsburg, where he worked as youth team co-ordinator for three years. He was named as the new head coach of 1.
FSV Mainz 05 on 3 August 2009, after the club was promoted to the Bundesliga.
He had been a youth team coach for Mainz for the previous 12 months. He signed a two-year contract after being promoted to that position from the 1. FSV Mainz 05 Under 19 side.
In the 2010-2011 season, Tuchel coached Mainz to seven wins in their first seven games, including an away victory over Bayern Munich.
The team finished fifth in the rankings. Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen both made approaches for Tuchel in the latter–half of the 2013-2014 season.
Tuchel led Mainz to a 2014-2015 Union of European Football Associations Europa League spot during the 2013-2014 season after finishing the season in seventh place. Tuchel asked to be released from his contract prematurely.
Tuchel left the position of head coach on 11 May 2014.
However, Mainz refused to release him from his contract. He finished his Mainz career with a record of 72 wins, 46 draws, and 64 losses. Borussia Dortmund
On 19 April 2015, it was announced that Tuchel would replace Jürgen Klopp as manager of Borussia Dortmund from the 2015-2016 season.
He had his first training session on 29 June 2015.
Tuchel"s Dortmund had an astonishing run of 11 consecutive wins, a run that ended on the 23rd of September 2015 in an away match at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, a game that finished 1-1.
