Thomas Tuchel once displayed his extravagantly generous side.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel made a heartfelt and a generous gesture purchased his maid a property and paid for her son’s heart surgery while at Paris Saint-Germain. Tuchel led the Ligue 1 club for two years after leaving Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and he lived in the Hauts-de-Seine region of Paris.

Thomas Tuchel recruited a Filipino maid upon his arrival in France and chose to pay for the child’s medical care when he learned that she was working extra hours to afford the operation. The compassionate German reached into his own wallet to assist her with her son’s treatment, and even fulfilling one of her dreams.

Thomas Tuchel right away bought a lavish villa for his maid in Philippines after PSG sacking

Thomas Tuchel hired a housekeeper immediately after arriving at Parc des Princes in May 2018, according to Canal Sport. The German was immediately pleased by his employee’s work ethic, but he subsequently discovered that she was working around the clock to afford a crucial heart surgery for her kid. Tuchel promptly dug into his own pocket after hearing the news to pay for the child’s hospitalisation.

A Twitter handle by the name @FrankKhalidUK told the story in a recent tweet, where it reveals:

‘When Thomas Tuchel signed to PSG in 2018, he settled into a beautiful house on 92. He and his wife then hired a Filipino housemaid to take care of their home. This lady hasn’t counted her hours and has always been very professional and available for the Tuchel family. Over time, a bond was created and one day, Tuchel and his wife learned that if this woman worked hard, it was first and foremost to fund a heavy operation from one of her children’s hearts.

‘Without even asking himself a question, Thomas Tuchel then decided to fully finance the operation. The operation is going very well and the child can see the rest of his life with optimism. But that’s not all. As Tuchel is increasingly threatened with being sacked to PSG, he asks his maid, what his biggest dream in life is.

‘She replied as she dreams of being able to return to the Philippines and build a house where she would end her old days with her family who she was staying and missing so much. Thomas Tuchel was then sacked by PSG and joined Chelsea but before leaving he didn’t forget his cleaning lady and offered her a sumptuous villa in the Philippines where she lives now with her family. Immense respect to Tuchel for this magnificent gesture.’

It is thought that the operation went well and that the housekeeper’s son recovered completely. Tuchel, who was overjoyed with her son’s recuperation, also purchased a cottage for his maid after she discussed her long-term ambitions with the management. However, the joy didn’t last long as Tuchel was fired by the Ligue 1 club shortly afterwards after which he took the Chelsea job. The ex-Dortmund manager is currently at the helm of Bayern Munich after being fired by the Blues in September last year.
