I know we got the "Next Everton Manager" thread but we have threads on Giggs and Dyche so I think we could do with a thread dedicated to the one the Mirror is claiming to be our top target.

Some information:
- Thomas Tuchel
- 44 years old
- German
- 3 clubs managed; Augsburg reserves (34M, 20W, 8D, 6L, +35GD), Mainz (182M, 72W, 46D, 64L, -40GD), Borussia Dortmund (108M, 68W, 23D, 17L, +132GD)
- Total win rate for his career is 45.59%, nearly 63% with Dortmund but under 40% with Mainz
- Won the german domestic cup with Dortmund, he also got them to the quarter finals of both the Europa and Champions League

He's the one I hope we get, though I have to admit unlikely. Other papers are saying he's waiting for a European giant to come in for him. I think he'd be perfect because he's a young manager with both European experience (with Dortmund) and experienced at dealing with keeping teams up (with Mainz).

From the cretins over on the Everton subreddit, I found this link: http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/07/24/tactical-philosophy-thomas-tuchel/

Quoted a bit of it, below, if you're curious to how he handles his teams:
Tuchel does not need much time to impart his ideas. He is able to lead young players, to teach complicated tactics and to develop certain styles of play. However, when he acceded to the head coach position of Mainz’s Bundesliga team, he was aware of the weak points the players had at that time. Tuchel started by creating easily understood strategies. He basically reflected the opposing formations – that means he fielded a 4-1-4-1 against a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-3-2 against a 4-1-4-1, using strict man-orientations. Later, the 4-1-3-2 gradually became his favorite system, partly going off the idea of mirrored formations. The midfield diamonds have well-known strengths and weaknesses.

Four central midfielders can control the middle of the park and out-number the opponent near the ball. Normally, the full-backs have to deal with a lot of free space in front of them but Tuchel was able to make certain adjustments, so that the central midfielder – inside left or inside right – near the opposing full-back, who carried the ball, would quickly move towards that particular full-back, who then could not use the free space on the outside lane. Meanwhile the number ten was asked to keep both opposing central midfielders busy, which required great fitness.

One of Tuchel’s strong suits is that he can readily react to the tactical set-up of the opponent. His success does not depend on the availability of his eleven best players. He often leaves some of these players on the bench, sacrificing them for the purposes of his match strategy. Even great talents such as André Schürrle were sometimes side-lined when they played under Tuchel. Frequent rotation helped as almost every player evolved in some aspects – particularly tactical ones – of the game.

Throughout the last years, Tuchel has become a coach who is highly revered for a reason. Especially his pre-game preparation stands out. Using information gathered on the other teams by extensively watching video material, he regularly changes formations and details regarding group tactical set-ups. Moreover, this approach does not end when the referee blows the opening whistle. During the ninety minutes, Tuchel shows his inner Guardiola, effortlessly changing formations and individual positions taking the course of the game into account. Particularly the clashes with Bayern Munich unleashed Tuchel’s very best, as his teams carried the superior opponent to the limit on multiple occasions.

Could do a job.
 


Seems the best candidate with the right blend of youth/hunger + experience with a mediocre club like Mainz and a top club like Dortmund. I have some reservations, particularly the absolute bottle job his Dortmund side performed at Anfield a couple of years ago which an Everton side would have been proud of but hopefully it's an experience he has learned from.

I can't see him not wanting the job, we can afford to make him amongst him the top 15 best payed managers in the world, there's every expectation he'll be given money to spend and if he succeeds at us the door is open for him anywhere.
 

He need time to adapt premier league, the club and the players, when he settle down, what the position on league table of us?

Oh god yes. Like bees to honey, us Americans liking that post. He's a talent, although the way he pronounces his last name is downright jarring (I have a Croatian last name, too).

More relevant, Tuchel would be a get. I don't think he's the least risky option, but it would certainly show ambition. I think he's looking well above us though.
