German coach Thomas Tuchel has made Premier League history.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager has eclipsed records previously held by Chelsea managers Jose Mourinho and Luiz Felipe Scolari in the process.
Tuchel has made the desired impact at Stamford Bridge since being asked to succeed Frank Lampard in January.
He has led Chelsea to a top-four place, FA Cup final berth and a spot in the Champions League semi-finals following a spectacular start to life at West London.
Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday means that the Blues have now registered an 11th top-flight clean sheet under Tuchel, from just 15 games.
No Premier League manager before him can claim to have emulated those efforts, with Mourinho and Scolari opening their respective spells in English football with 10 shutouts from 15 fixtures.
Tuchel’s start to life as Chelsea head coach has been nothing short of solid and he could win two titles and also deliver a top four finish to the Blues.
This will no doubt endear him to Chelsea supporters wherever they may be.
