10 best football managers who are currently unemployed

#2 Thomas Tuchel

The German Cup in 2017 is not likely to be the last trophy Thomas Tuchel wins

If Pereira is the "new Mourinho", then Thomas Tuchel is certainly the new Jurgen Klopp. Both are former defenders that worked at Mainz before getting their big break at Dortmund. Tuchel was, in fact, the direct successor to Klopp in Spring 2015.

Tuchel left Dortmund last May after winning the German Cup. It ended up being the only trophy he won during his time at the club, but the results there were impressive, nevertheless.

Dortmund won 63% of matches during Tuchel's time at the club, which included an 11-game winning streak in the Bundesliga. His points average in the Bundesliga is better than any other manager in club history. Quite a feat considering what Klopp managed to do there.

Following his resignation, which came a year before his contract was up, Tuchel has been linked with many Premier League clubs. Even with Arsenal, before Arsene Wenger's contract extension was announced.

Everton has also been paired with the German, as well as Leicester City, before they went with Claude Puel. But you got to feel that Tuchel's career will follow the footsteps of Klopp. In the sense that he won't take the reigns of a mediocre team. Considering this, I think we'll have to wait a while to see his next step.

Bayern might be targeting him as their next long-term boss, so Tuchel could even stay unemployed until next season.
