A German coach and former footballer, Thomas Tuchel was born on August 7, 1973 in Krumbach.
In 1988, his father sent young Thomas to practice football. FC Augsburg became the first youth team for the defender after which Tuchel decided to continue his career in the amateur Stuttgarter Kickers. Two seasons later the footballer joined SSV Ulm. Tuchel finished his playing career very early – when 25 years old – due to a serious injury.
In 2000, Thomas Tuchel began to master his coaching skills. First, he coached a VfB Stuttgart junior team. In 2004, he became assistant head coach of the VfB Stuttgart youth team. A year later Tuchel joined FC Augsburg managerial staff but never got any respectable or prestigious position, so he left for 1. FSV Mainz 05 in 2009 to become head coach there.
