The German coach hat trick is here.
After Jürgen Klopp and Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel has now also won the Champions League - who should follow, please?
Porto - The seven-minute stoppage time was whistled on time and the time had come: Thomas Tuchel could look forward to his first triumph in the Champions League.
Together with his colleagues he was in each other's arms, then it went to Pep Guardiola, a few words between friends - both emphasize that they call themselves that - were exchanged.
Chelsea are Champions League winners 2021 * - Tuchel in the history books.
CL final: After Chelsea win, Tuchel completes the coach hat trick
And with this, Tuchel is continuing a series that sounds ludicrous: He is the third German trainer in a row to raise the handle of the pot into the night sky.
Jürgen Klopp won the 2019 final against Tottenham Hotspurs for the first title of a German coach since Jupp Heynckes in London 2013 (FC Bayern versus Dortmund).
A year later, Hansi Flick * and FC Bayern followed with a 1-0 win against Paris St. Germain, which was then coached by Tuchel.
When Tuchel was fired at Christmas 2020, he probably couldn't have dreamed of receiving the trophy in Porto in May 2021 as the third German coach in a row.
The sports broadcaster DAZN, which broadcast the final alongside Sky, posted the German coach hat trick on social media after the victory.
CL final 2021: Tuchel one of the greats - but who follows him
And the comments underneath caused some laughs, because many fans just continued the list and the ideas that were romping about were perhaps also due to the (victory) frenzy of the football fans, who were happy about the end of the 2020/21 club season .
A suggestion that met with the best response: "Baumgart 2023".
As is well known, the former Paderborn coach will be training for 1. FC Köln from next season, who jumped off the shovel with a 5-1 win in Kiel *.
However, the international goals are exactly what Cologne arrogance would not do well after such a fickle season.
First almost relegation, then CL qualification and the title in the following year?
But the idea was also written with a wink - and understood that way.
CL final 2022 or 2023: Nagelsmann, Rose or Jogi Löw?
It became similarly absurd with the proposal “Tim Walter 2023”.
The former Kiel and Stuttgart coach has hired HSV and could not win the CL in 2023, as qualification would have to follow after promotion.
At first glance, however, the fans celebrated the idea.
It then became more realistic when the name "Julian Nagelsmann 2022" was mentioned several times. The future Bayern coach will certainly start the season with this mission. “Jogi Löw 2022” can also be read. There is speculation that he could take over Real Madrid after the Euro 2021, which he put a stop to himself. His predecessor in the national team: Jürgen Klinsmann. He also gets a few mentions, but it still needs the club that competes in the premier class, which Klinsi also wants. At the moment he only got into conversation at Tottenham Hotspurs.
New Dortmund coach Marco Rose will also be associated with the title in 2022. At BVB they would be well served with the championship title. However, after Klopp and Tuchel, Rose would then be the third man with a Mainz past who would rank well. But first one thing, after another ...
