Thomas Tuchel loving calm life at Chelsea admitting it’s ‘easier to manage Romelu Lukaku than Neymar and Kylian Mbappe’

THOMAS Tuchel admits he is loving the calmer life managing Chelsea’s players rather than the superstars at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Chelsea boss says it is much easier working with Romelu Lukaku than the galacticos in the French giants’ squad.

Tuchel told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “It’s easier to coach Lukaku than Neymar or Mbappe.”

The Chelsea boss has admitted managing PSG’s array of big names and their entourage was a challenge.

Tuchel said: “They are two completely different clubs with regards to style and organisation.

“At PSG, I felt I was the Minister for Sport. I had to also manage family members and friends of the stars.

“At Chelsea, I work much more calmly.”

Mbappe was furious with Tuchel after being subbed for PSG last year and their relationship reportedly broke down.

But former PSG manager Tuchel is enjoying a much smoother relationship with his players at Stamford Bridge.
