John Terry shuts down Thomas Tuchel Chelsea praise and chooses the best manager

John Terry's view on the new Chelsea ownership, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter were always going to be important, considering just how much his opinion is respected among the Blues fanbase.

Terry returned to the club in December 2021 to become a coaching consultant at the Chelsea Academy. As well as delivering on-field coaching, the former club captain contributes to coaching discussions with colleagues, mentor Academy players and support parent dialogue.

His opinions of Potter 'ticking every box' and other Chelsea matters have always been known with what he tweets on his social media account. Of course, such a club legend's view on anything Chelsea-related should always be respected, considering just how many called the former defender 'Mr Chelsea.' With that label, of course, most of his opinions will have some heavy substance to them.

Tuchel, who is now looking to get straight back into management, is regarded by some Chelsea fans as one of the tactically most astute managers in the club's recent history when compared to trophy-winning managers like José Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte and many others.

This is the view of well-known Chelsea supporter and Premier League presenter Olivia Buzaglo who tweeted in relation to the Champions League final masterclass in Porto: 'This performance will never get old. How every single Chelsea player on that pitch pulled a 10/10 in the biggest game of their lives, I'll never know. A game plan that worked to absolute perfection, masterminded by the absolute genius that is Thomas Tuchel. Unbelievable.

'For a one-off, knockout game, there is genuinely no manager in world football I'm taking over Thomas Tuchel.'

To which Terry disagreed and tweeted his own managerial choice who he believes would be the best at managing one-off games and the reasoning: "Jose 100%.

'I have never seen anything like Jose, the level of detail he knew about the team and individuals was incredible. He named the Barcelona team the night before we played them at the bridge. No debate on this!'
