Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, while at Paris Saint-Germain, bought his Filipino housekeeper a house and also paid for her son’s heart surgery, the UK Sun reported.

Mr Tuchel and his wife, Sissi, who both lived in the Hauts-de-Seine district of Paris, hired a Filipino housekeeper upon their arrival at Paris from Dortmund.

Fascinated by his housekeeper’s diligence, on knowing she was working overtime to pay for her son’s heart surgery, Mr Tuchel decided to fund it.

Mr Tuchel, 48, led PSG for two years between 2018 and 2020, winning 95 in 127 games, drawing 13 and losing 19.

The German talisman joined English Premier League side Chelsea in 2021, winning the 2020/2021 season Champions League and Super Cup and leading the Blues to FA finals.
