England's decision to hire Thomas Tuchel slammed as FA turn to German manager for first time in country's history

<p>In a swift and unexpected development, Tuchel, known for his success at major clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich, is reported to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-reach-agreement-thomas-tuchel-new-three-lions-boss-this-week/blt6f7781ff4663176d#csc5be647924b4e636" target="_blank">have finalised an agreement with the FA</a> to become England manager. The 51-year-old will take over in a permanent role from Gareth Southgate, who stepped down after leading England to the final of Euro 2024, with Lee Carsley placed in interim charge.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Tuchel’s appointment is historic, as he will become the first German manager to take charge of any England national team. He also joins an exclusive group of foreign coaches to have managed the Three Lions, following Sven-Goran Eriksson from Sweden and Italy’s Fabio Capello. However, the appointment has been met with strong resistance from some fans given the fierce rivalry between England and Germany.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>An English fan, <a href="https://x.com/ScottJonesy/status/1846256044646797800" target="_blank">@ScottJonesy</a>, "The once great Nations of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland crumble once more under #TwoTierFreeGearKeir A German. Thomas Tuchel is a GERMAN. What next? A French man in charge of our Ministry of Defence? #BrokenBritain".</p><p>While another fan <a href="https://x.com/krisconvery/status/1846250797643726981" target="_blank">@krisconvery</a> wrote: "German Tuchel as England gaffer? No thanks. Not for me. And it’ll end in tears. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁🦁🦁"</p><p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/Seunphology/status/1846257790530343421" target="_blank">@Seunphology</a> wrote: "Klopp and Tuchel have made recent personal decisions that won’t sit well with a large portion of the German society."</p><p>Whereas <a href="https://x.com/danisdriven/status/1846269498426642444" target="_blank">@danisdriven</a> thinks that the move might usher in a new dawn and wrote: "Nice, it may finally be coming home!"</p><p>While <a href="https://x.com/lilsaraah69/status/1846253716447346913" target="_blank">@lilsaraah69</a> echoed his thoughts and wrote: "Thomas Tuchel managing the Three Lions? England’s future just got exciting."</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Before Tuchel officially takes charge, interim manager Carsley is expected to oversee two more matches in November when England are scheduled to face Greece and the Republic of Ireland in the final two matchdays of the Nations League. Tuchel's contract is expected to officially start on January 1, 2025.</p>
