A German for the “Three Lions”: Thomas Tuchel will coach the English national team in the future. Some British media celebrate him for this – others are skeptical.
Thomas Tuchel and the English Football Association FA quickly agreed on the German’s commitment as national coach. Just a few days after rumors of negotiations had intensified, the amazing personnel appointment is now perfect.
However, the British media are divided over whether Tuchel is the right one for the “Three Lions”. While some journalists praise the coach’s modern playing style, others doubt Tuchel’s difficult character. However, the predominant topic in the English press is the 51-year-old’s nationality.
The press reviews on the FA deal with Thomas Tuchel
“The Guardian”: “The players will find his training sessions entertaining and innovative. Tuchel is a coach who loves the smell of the pitch. He is demanding and intense in training but he has bonded with the team at Chelsea.”
“The Independent”: “England’s appointment of Thomas Tuchel shows as much desperation as inspiration. The German represents a departure from the FA’s years of planning (…) but his appointment also underlines the Three Lions’ ultimate desire as they head towards the 2026 World Cup.”
“Mirror”: “Tuchel has coached elite and world-class players and will not be afraid to drop an English star or choose a formation that works. Tuchel is German of course, but will that be an issue? It shouldn’t.”
“Daily Mail”: “Signing Thomas Tuchel feels like a panicked step in the wrong direction (…) as England put blind faith in a man who may be more trouble than he’s worth.”
“BBC”: “In his new role, Tuchel can put aside backroom politics and focus on an area where he excels and is proven. And that is exactly what the FA wants to achieve with this bold move (…).”
“This is definitely a moment that I would have liked to have shared with my dad”

“The Sun”: “With his reputation behind him, Tuchel could be the most divisive coach England could have had (…). The fiery Tuchel is a short-term coach – but he is the best choice.”
“The Telegraph”: “Thomas Tuchel is the best man for the England job – that’s a coup. By choosing excellence over nationality, the Football Association has a coach with the pedigree to handle the complexity of the job.”
“The Times”: “As an ‘out-of-the-box’ thinker with a successful past and a reputation for supporting young talent, the German has all the prerequisites to pave the way to the 2026 World Cup.”
