Borussia Dortmund’s impressive season under Thomas Tuchel has been dominated by the attacking flair of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and the goals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The duo are both thriving in their third season with the German club, and Mkhitaryan has credited Tuchel with helping him improve on a less-than-impressive final season under Jurgen Klopp.
Dortmund struggled under the now-Liverpool boss in his final season, and Mkhitaryan was the first to admit he “didn’t do much” in the 2014/15 campaign.
In an interview with DW Sports, the Armenian spoke of his underwhelming goals tally – just five for club and country compared to 11 already this time around – and how the new boss has helped him turn things around.
“The first time I met [Tuchel] in March, he convinced me to stay,” Mkhitaryan said.
“We have a good connection, and I’m very happy I had the chance to work with him.
“At one point I was not really confident that, after a bad season, he could make me a high-class player, but he did it and I am thankful to him.”
