Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel happy with winning start

Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said he was "feeling very good" after winning his first game in charge of the Westphalian club.

It might only have been a friendly against amateur club Rhede, but Friday's 5-0 win was a positive start to life in charge of Dortmund for Tuchel, just four days after linking up with his new club.

"I've met a very open team here," Tuchel told Sport1 television. "The team embodies a high level of concentration. We're feeling very good here."

Ilkay Gundogan, fresh from committing to a new contract with the club, opened the scoring for Dortmund, who are already in Europa League action later on this month.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan added a second before three members of Dortmund's reserves completed the scoring as Tuchel fielded two different sides in each half.
