Is Thomas Tuchel the right manager for England? | Football Focus | BBC Sport

[@Allwin-lz6yj]

The Germans do know how to get it done in international tournaments, good job by the FA for once

[@shervinbehrad1848]

Something which no one has mentioned so far is that to win a tournament (WC or Euros) requires a collective effort from the whole coaching staff. So I am sure that Tuchel will have ENGLISH staff advising & helping him to succeed. At the end of the day I am sure if ENGLAND win the WC in 2026 the fans won't care where the manager is from, they'll be too busy celebrating.

Tuchel has won 11 NOT 8 trophies @BBCSport

[@HonestTom1892]

18 month contract, Tuchel has one job.

[@TheFootyCoach351]

We’ll find out soon enough. Feels as though everyone writing him off before the boys have even kicked a ball!

[@lisaruhm6681]

the 18 months contract lengh is normal, as the contracts of international managers usually go until the next big tournament.

[@jsal1161]

18 months is a timeframe more than enough for Tuchel to deliver given his excellent records of making instant impact upon taking over a new team. All eyes on WC 2026, but not only that, there is a final of Nations League in June 2025 to play for. Fingers crossed.

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

Yes absolutely. Give him a chance to be an England manager even though he’s German. I still welcome him in to England.

[@glostergloster6945]

There is no other English manager who has won a trophy. Eddie Howe hasnt won the Premier League, Graham Potter, out of work. Lee Carsley has promise but just isnt experienced enough. They have made the right decision with Tuchel.

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

Agreed

[@GodofMMA23]

Steve Mclaren last english manager to win a trophy.....at Middlesborough

[@smogmonster1876]

Tuchel is a proven winner BUT with the England job you can only pick English players unlike at club level where you can buy whoever from wherever. It therefore remains to be seen whether Tuchel will be a success with only English players. However of course I wish Tuchel well and couldn’t give a toss about his nationality.

[@DavidWilliamsDenmark]

No one has complained about Eng Wms team have a Dutch manager

[@charlesapana9935]

Great appointment no doubt

[@hannahthomas4664]

I think Thomas tuchel is the right one because he has got trophies for Chelsea and byamunic and is the a good manager for England men

[@haatpraat2993]

Yet again, no mention of Brian Clough for the England job.

[@maxwellhiggs]

Another direct strike in the BBC'S apparent war on eloquence. If this was a conversation happening on the bus I'd get off and walk.

[@ojos_verdes76]

It's as riveting as listening to Harry and Meghan give a speech on wellbeing.

[@DuncanGacheru]

You don't give people breathing space! Gosh the English media! Let the man work first!

[@junglist_31]

Don't jinx it

[@kipvincent3030]

F.A actually just hired someone on the basis of his football knowledge , acumen experience and record. A lose cannon like a Clough they can't control. As apposed to their flexibility to take orders and with P.R media friendly persona like yes men McLaren, Southgate , Taylor . Distinct possibility things could actually change now and strangely enough it's a job that probably is as prestigious and desirable to a German as it would a local .

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

For fuck sake BBC, enough with the anti German rhetoric.

[@albionmyl7735]

they frozen in 1944.... and don't notized that in this days nobody hates German...

Absolutely yes only time will tell his target 🎯 is for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to win the world cup if we don’t he goes so I think he can change the way we play football but an international manager now England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 manager for me it should be in an England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 manager was this he right decision 🤔

[@BobVance529]

We’ll play better football but won’t go further in tournaments

[@chrisallen4533]

How did you come to that assumption?

[@BobVance529]

@@chrisallen4533 I imagine we’ll play a better brand of attacking football and look better in the earlier rounds but I think we’ll come unstuck playing attractive football in the semis/final. Just my opinion.

[@chrisallen4533]

@@BobVance529 Tuchel is a tactical magician, I think we'll definitely play some good to watch attacking football for sure. However he's a proven winner, against bigger teams he'll give us the edge we've been missing

[@BobVance529]

@@chrisallen4533 I truly hope so and do rate him as a coach. Time will tell
