Thomas Tuchel | England Manager

As he wasn’t born in Birmingham, I’m not sure there will be that much attention on it tbh.

Ah now, come on; who'd admit to being born in Birmingham?

Not sure why not to have a German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian, Argentine, etc. to coach England. English coaches are wankers (ok, current English coaches because there were some good ones in the past). Regarding Tuchel, there is no rivalry anymore between Germany and England. It was for a short period in the past, and now doesn’t exist. There is no comparison between what Germany achieved at the international level and what England did. International football is changing, and it won’t be a surprise to see a European in charge of Brazil’s national team because of their extended failures with Brazilian coaches. Not long ago, Brazilians, who are so proud of themselves when it comes to football, were talking to Ancelotti (https://www.football-espana.net/2024/01/02/real-madrid-manager-carlo-ancelotti-confirms-brazil-talks-coaching-the-national-team-is-hugely-exciting#:~:text=He did confirm he had,thank him for his interest). Now, here is a true rivalry between Brazil and Italy, yet the Brazilians talked with Ancelotti. That said, in my opinion, Tuchel is not a good choice, not because he is German but because he is not good PERIOD. But I am still curious to see how he will manage the English team.

you mean FULL STOP. Are you a yank?

I wonder if this means the end of younger players getting a chance. Tuchel always favours older players

Interesting. Tactically a step up, but he also strikes as being a bit weird and abrasive.

Depressingly pragmatic football. New manager, same England - keep it tight and hope for an error or a setpiece.

Can't believe how many see this as a great move.

There's no guarantee of trophies. When you end up not winning them, it's good to have enjoyed the journey. But we never do with England and we still won't.

Carsley would have been a novice to some extent, but I was optimistic that he would at least try to make the most of our attacking talent.

There's already Kuntz who play for arse, dippers and rags in the squad.

Even a pretty glowing article in the Guardian contains this gem, "Tuchel is uncompromising and left his previous four jobs under something of a cloud".

When does Stefan Ortega become eligible to play for England?

will this appointment put to bed the often broadcast "FA only appoint yes men" I wonder. From what little I know of Tommy Tucker, I'd say he's about as far from that as you can get
