As per title


Expected to take concrete later on this week

He has agreed a record breaking contract

£7 million + per year

Had to Google him. He doesn't look 51!

Not a fan. He can be quite truculent in interviews. Its gonna be interesting if the press start having a go at him and he snaps.

He doesn’t suffer fools gladly ..
i cannot wait to see his first squad in November

The interim manager wasn't up to the task, thats obvious

At least we know that our players aren’t capable of coping with a team full of creative ball players .. I expected great things when I heard he was fielding Palmer , Bellingham , Saka , Foden and TAA ..but they were pants .

I still recall Brazil playing Zico , Socrates , Falcão and others playing dreamlike football all those years ago

it's now official

Embarrassing and a damning indictment of English football that we can't produce a coach up to the task

Southgate managed to get a tune out of the players because of his humility, I don't think Tuchels ego will rub well with some of the other big names in the England team

Could be a short but exciting appointment


Can’t be worse than Southgate

I'm sure he will lead you to new heights in next years conference nations group B

His style is the complete opposite of Southgate. Meh, not bad.

Thomas Tuchel is the NEW England manager !!
 

I wish he’d been in charge for those big games, the semi and Final for starters

He certainly wouldn’t have bottled it each time or be out thought at those crucial moments

Yeah, win or lose, we'll certainly play more exciting football under TT.

I think Tuchel is a top class manager. I think people wanting the manager role of any team to be a long term appointment are just not understanding modern football

:laugh:

You call it humility I call it cluelessness.

In all seriousness Tuchel is a top manger even though I'm not a fan. I doubt this will be long term appointment and I hope England can get a great English manager for the future.

Cant wait for Lineker and Shearer to get this treatment

maybe he is a better national team manager than a club manager, who knows



germans have had good results coaching foreign national teams honestly


Otto Rehhagel (European Champions with Greece)

Klaus Toppmoller (several stints with Georgia)

Berti Vogts (the former Scotland, Nigeria, Azerbaijan coach and USA sports director)

Jurgen Klinsmann (USA coaching spell of course)

Otto Pfister (quite well known in AFC and in Africa working for teams like Ghana, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Zaire, Togo as well as in the Concacaf section for Trinidad & Tobago)



not exactly uncommon a german managing a foreign team, my point being

Just read a great article in the non league paper making the point that the fundamental purpose of international football is to measure how the best of your country stacks up against other countries. You're not doing that if your manager is not from that country. Makes the point that the FAs job description of the role basically ruled out all English coaches apart from Howe, Potter, Dyche and Gary O'Neil.

It also says how a lot of England's players started in non league so for players we have that pathway from the grassroots to the very top of the game but we don't have that for coaches. An English manager hasn't won the Premier League since 1992

Most of the english population has german roots though :laugh:

Love Thomas, and he has an Irish no. 2 ...its an English persons dream team :hee:

That's a different argument though, we have clear eligibility criteria for players so not sure why it shouldn't apply to managers too

Saying that if we win something I will be singing his name and deleting all my posts in here
