The German had sympathy for his former player, who he wishes he spent more time coaching.
And Tuchel explained how the pair would meet up and exchange messages when he was manager of Paris Saint-Germain and Dembele was on international duty.
"He is a very good player when he is at his top level," Tuchel said of the 24-year-old.
