He is not a 'yes man', at Chelsea he would have to be a yes man to Boehly hence Tuchel left.
At Spurs and PSG same case.
Look at Klopp and Guardiola, they have autonomy. Now even Tuchel.
He's looking for autonomy, which is not easy to get.

Happy Birthday Baba ❤️💃
Easy 100kg deadlift to celebrate as he turns 65 years old today.
On his birthday, he gave us all the gift of hope and belief.
We all celebrated with him, the smile on his face and good vibes all around :)
Clean 95kgs for 5 reps and 3 sets.
He's turning 65 in 20 days and has set a 3 rep 100kg single set target, tough to add 5 kgs in 20 days but ruthlessly focused on the possibility of doing so.

You workout in the morning, your body releases endorphins, the happy hormones that make you a pleasant person once you enter office.
You workout in the evening, you release all the pent up stress of the day from work.
Either way you win. You never lose.

Reading gives you a sense of 'imposter syndrome' by making you feel you don't know much.
