Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has set a new record for the
most UEFA Champions League matches won in his first 50 games in the
competition.
Tuchel achieved the feat on Wednesday night after guiding
Chelsea to beat Lille 2-1 in the Champions League round of 16 second-leg tie.
Two goals from Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta
ensured Tuchel’s men defeated Lille in France and qualified for the Champions
League quarter-final.
According to OptaJoe, the result means Tuchel has won 32 of
his 50 Champions League matches as a manager, equalling former Bayern Munich
manager, Jupp Heynckes (32 wins from 47 matches in total) as the coach with the
most victories inside his first 50 matches in the competition.
It also means that the former Paris Saint-Germain coach is
now ahead of the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola.
Below are the top five managers with the most matches won in
their first 50 games in the Champions League:
Thomas Tuchel – 32 wins
Zinedine Zidane – 31 wins
Pep Guardiola – 30 wins
