Thomas Tuchel paid for his housekeeper's son to have heart surgery and bought her villa

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is clearly every inch as good a person as he is a manager after buying his housekeeper a villa as well as paying for her son to have a heart operation while he was at Paris Saint-Germain.

Tuchel, clearly a staggeringly generous person, opted to pay for the child's treatment out of his own pocket upon learning that the housekeeper was working overtime to try and fund her child's surgery.

The 48-year-old coach spent two years at the helm of French giants PSG, during which time he lived in the Hauts-de-Seine district of France's capital city.

According to a report from Canal Sport, in the immediate aftermath of his switch from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund to the Parc Des Princes, Tuchel along with his wife Sissi hired a Filipino housekeeper.

Shortly after her hiring, the Tuchel family quickly took note of her incredible work ethic - the woman always ensuring she is available around the clock for the needs of her bosses.

Tuchel then learned of the reasons behind her willingness to take on so many hours - to fund a major heart operation for her son, the news clearly resonating with the current Blues boss as he wasted no time in funding the surgery in full.

Thankfully, the operation went off without a hitch and the housekeeper's son was able to fully recover.

Remarkably, funding a major surgery was not Tuchel's last gesture of goodwill, the German coach parting ways with a significant amount of cash once again for his housekeeper.

As his time in the French capital was winding down, Tuchel had a discussion with the women over her life-long dreams - one of which was to buy a house in the Philippines where she could retire and live with her family.

Though Tuchel was sacked by the Ligue 1 side in the opening exchanges of the 2020/21 season, he did not forget about the conversation and took to his wallet once again to fork out for her dream house back in her home country - a house she now lives in with her family.

Tuchel's wife Sissi is rumoured to have a big say on his career choices, but prefers to stay out of the limelight - the husband and wife duo very rarely pictured in public together.
