Thomas Tuchel, a German mentor eager to change Chelsea’s fortunes

Earlier this week, Chelsea unveilled Thomas Tuchel as their new manager following the sacking of Frank Lampard, the Club’s legend and all-time top goal-scorer. 18-months. That is the time Frank Lampard lasted at Chelsea as a Manager. However, this is a familiar sight to those who have followed Chelsea during Roman Abramovich’s time as the Club’s owner — a Russian billionaire unsatisfied by nothing else but instant results. Following an impressive first season with the club despite the FIFA transfer ban, the second season was expected to be even better — more especially with the club backing him in the transfer market. A great start to a season, ruined by a bad spell for Lampard has brought Tuchel to Stamford Bridge. Tuchel, who led Paris St Germain to a treble last season and a Uefa Champions League final, will reunite with Thiago Silva and Christian Pulisic whom he coached at PSG and Borussia Dortmund respectively. Perhaps, the biggest reason behind Tuchel’s appointment is to...

Kai Havertz struggles on Chelsea debut

Kai Havertz on the ball on his Chelsea debut Chelsea's new signing, Kai Havertz, had a shaky start on his debut during a 3-1 win over Brighton on Monday night. Haverts, who was bought from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee [£71 million], touched the ball on 35 occasions and had 0 shot on target. Speaking after the match, the 21-year-old Germany international -- subbed on the the 80th minute and replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi -- admitted the Premier League might be tougher than the Bundesliga. "The Premier League is much tougher than the Bundesliga. I have seen that in training and saw it in the game as well. But I am happy to play 80 minutes and hopefully next week I will continue," he said. While Havertz had a sluggish debut for the London club, his countryman, Timo Werner, caused all sort of problems for Brighton defence with his electric pace. Chelsea's first goal came through a penalty which was slotted by Jorginho after he was fou...

Daine Klate, South Africa's most decorated footballer

When Daine Klate won his first league title in the 2007-2008 season, the left-footed winger never imagined himself becoming the most decorated footballer in the history of the Premier Soccer League. The Port Elizabeth-born star helped Bidvest Wits clinch their first League title in 96 years. Klate , a product of the school of excellence scored Bidvest Wits’ second goal in a title winning game against Polokwane City at Bidvest Wits stadium on Wednesday. James Keene had earlier put the host in front with an exquisite header to make it 1-0 within three minutes into the game. Still, at 32-years, Klate has earned the reputation of winning the League title with every club he has played for since becoming a professional footballer in 2004. Regarded as one of the country’s best free-kick takers, Klate remains the only footballer to win the league title in five consecutive seasons. Wearing jersey number seven on his back, Klate won the PSL title three times with Su...
