Great comeback
Thomas Tuchel | England Manager

And yet it took you 3 minutes to reply, Florida bloke has rattled you
Is bald so ticks all the boxes
Even in a hypothetical success story England are still shat on
He's an elite level manager, but I just find this embarrassing for Emgland.
They invest heavily in academies, coaching and FA Learning. Why can't they bring through their own coaches? What's going on?

Probably because I don’t sit glued to the Caf my whole life ….mummy says it’s past your bedtime
Not really. There's a very good manager available who might be interested in the job.
If it makes you feel better I don't think a foreign coach managing a NT has won the World Cup.
Who? An English manager has never won the English Premier League and that's not going to change soon. That's unthinkable in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina....
The English Premier League is only 30 years old and has been dominated by a few individuals. I'd bet that over 30 years the Premier League has the fewest unique managers to win the league.
In any case, it's not embarrassing for England to look to Tuchel.
What’s worse for English fans? A German manager or an Irish manager?
Would Pep be interested in taking the England job after this season?
We have an Irish manager and he's getting sacked after 4 games.
I can see Pep either coaching Brazil or England. I think he has suggested his interest in the Brazilian job in the past.
But he always times his new moves perfectly. He would wait until straight after the 2026 World Cup, to give himself a full 4 years of getting his team ready for the 2030 WC.
I’m not English, but I think they’re doing okay with coaches. The likes of Potter, McKenna, Carrick, Still and O’Neil are all good coaches still early in their careers.
Any one of those could get up in the England job around the 2030 WC and onwards.
But for now they have one of the strongest squads and the next World Cup will probably be the last chance for this current crop of players. They need a big time manager and Tuchel would make them for competitive.
Seems you're not aloneI’ll be fecking raging if he becomes the next England manager!!!!
Why ?I’ll be fecking raging if he becomes the next England manager!!!!
Because I think he’s the best candidate currently available to be the next Utd manager.
Please let this happen. Good for England and the whole kills two birds one stone thingy. Gareth will be happy too.
Gareth will be happy he’s got a superior successor while he takes a year out and Utd can see who’s available in the meantime to replace ETH.
Hmmm, I think he might be happy for another reason. Hence the kill two birds reference.
I see you're still here posting your weekly 'Southgate to United' bantz. I have to admire the hustle of trying to wind up rival fans online, but after 23 years on the caf, I can't help but feel like it might do you some good to touch grass.
He is the best available.
I also want Tuchel at Utd but those in charge don’t, so England manager is next best.
It’s real simple. Tuchel was your best option. So if it means Southgate is next in line then obviously it’s something I would be happy about. I believe his relationship with Ashworth would bring this closer to reality.
He definitely is. It’s a no brainier for me.
Ashworth is also on good terms with plenty of other managers. Very few (if any) reputable journalists have said that we're lining up Southgate as our next manager. Those links have mainly been driven by online opposition fans such as yourself.
You mean like ex men's and u21s manager Gareth Southgate?
Tbh I am no longer dreading the Southgate appointment as I did a few months ago. I think man management, getting players onside, is his main strength, and he will surprise a few here if he ever got the job but doing better than expected.
I don't think it will happen as it will be a PR nightmare for INEOS and drag their credibility with the fans down the gutter.
He will have a good pool of players to pull from. So that argument goes out of the door. United are not in that position anymore.
Most young managers won’t just walk in to the National Team job though. It’s something you pick up later in your career when you have had plenty of experience at club level.
There’s some promising younger managers currently but none in a position to manage England. They tried going down the route of limited experience with Southgate and whilst it worked to some degree, there wasn’t the experience and pedigree to get the team over the line. They now want to go, as per the FA advert, with a coach who has experienced winning trophies and tournaments, along with having a good CV in club football.

Stop using names weirdly then.Took me 5 minutes to figure out who the feck Enrique is ffs. Can people please stop treating the second part of composite names like surnames???
You tell them pyromaniac
Some day they learn, hosechoker
Is it just me that finds it crazy that over 30 years, 23 title winning managers in the French league didn't stay in their job long enough to win it again! Not the league to build a dynasty!
I don’t think it’s a bad thing in itself, but I always feel that it’s a little sad when a big football nation needs managers from other countries for their national team. Not exactly an advertisement for English managers and their education.
"It’s thought that recent reports of talks between Thomas Tuchel and England are an attempt to put pressure on Manchester United, who have an interest if they do part ways with Erik ten Hag. (@MiguelDelaney)

Sorry for quoting tweets, but still can't post media so have to do it like this. Hopefully not breaking any forum rules.

This seemed obvious as soon as it came out, but I’d bet there’s some truth to England approaching him. His agent is probably just leaking the fact as it’s convenient for them.
