Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel bought a  house for his former cleaner during his time at Paris Saint-Germain.

Tuchel and his family employed a cleaner when he was head coach at the Ligue 1 giants from 2018-20.

After being told by his wife Sissi that the cleaner had been working extra hours as she looked to afford surgery for her son, who had a heart problem, Tuchel paid for the hospital costs involved, sources told ESPN.

When his spell at PSG was coming to an end, Tuchel had a long chat with his cleaner in Paris about her wishes for the future.

Sources told ESPN the woman said her biggest dream was to own a house in the Philippines, where she was from.

Tuchel was sacked by PSG just before Christmas in 2020 and moved to London a month later to take over as Chelsea boss from Frank Lampard, but not before giving his cleaner the keys to a property he bought for her.

After joining Chelsea Tuchel led them to a second Champions League title after a 1-0 win against Manchester City.

His Blues side currently top the Premier League table.
