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

Tuchel, taking charge for the first time since replacing Jurgen Klopp at the helm, saw his side register a 5-0 friendly win against amateur side Rhede on Friday.

Although a friendly against lesser opposition, Tuchel was pleased with a positive start to life in charge of Dortmund, just four days after linking up with his new club.

"I've met a very open team here," he 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.
