He is the first German to be appointed as the club’s head coach. Chelsea was on fire with Tuchel on their side, winning 13 consecutive games and setting a record for the longest unbeaten run in Chelsea history. In March 2021, he was named Premier League Manager of the Month for the first time. The unbeaten streak came to an end on 3 April 2021 with a 5-2 home thrashing of West Bromwich Albion. He led Chelsea to the FA Cup Final after defeating league leaders Manchester City 1-0 in the semifinals, but they were defeated 1-0 by Leicester City in the finals. Thomas also led the team to the Champions League Final after a 3-1 semi-final victory over Real Madrid, becoming the first coach to reach consecutive finals with two different clubs.
