Joe Cole insists Thomas Tuchel is already among Chelsea's greatest managers.
Tuchel's Blues side out-fought and out-thought Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions in the European showpiece at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto on Saturday evening, with Kai Havertz' first-half goal giving them a 1-0 lead they never gave up.
And Cole hailed the German, who has now won all three of his clashes against Guardiola this season, as among the best Chelsea bosses ever.
He said: "The club bring managers in, they sack them. There's been no club in this country that has won more trophies since Roman came in.
'We thought Tuchel was one of the brightest young managers in football. He's going to go down in the folklore of the great managers in the history of this club."
