Jurgen Klinsmann: Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea chances helped by past manager learning curve experience

Jurgen Klinsmann won the World Cup and European Championship with Germany during a glittering career in which he played for Inter, Tottenham and Bayern, among others. As a coach, he led Germany to a third-place finish at the 2006 World Cup and managed the U.S. men's national team from 2011-16. In addition to an ESPN.com column, he is a regular guest on FC Daily.

Taking over as manager midway through a season is all about adapting quickly, and Thomas Tuchel will have been busy since replacing Frank Lampard at Chelsea last week.
