Although a lot of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea plans were reactive to the opposition rather than proactive choices to take the attack to teams, the former manager developed a knack for getting the better of some of the world's best coaches.
In his first half-a-season at Stamford Bridge Tucel beat Jurgen Klopp, Diego Simeone twice, Zinedine Zidane twice and Pep Guardiola three times. His big game record was unblemished and would go on to get victories over Antonio Conte three times in a row during his first and only full campaign in charge.
In almost Jose Mourinho-like fashion Tuchel managed to set his side up in a tough-to-beat style whilst also posing unique threats to each team faced.
